When in México, Do as the Mexicans Do
Waiting in Line at WaKiKa Ice Cream Stand Requires Patience! |
1. How to wait in line
at the grocery store or WaKiKa ice cream stand in Sayulita like a local, patiently, without showing any annoyance about the long wait.
Even better, wait calmly without feeling annoyance. The line may not
even resemble a line, but rather a gathering of people around the cashier’s
counter, but your turn will come eventually, when someone motions you forward.
Delays may include a story that the cashier is telling a customer, a customer
who leaves the line to go pick up another item or two in the store while the
cashier is halfway finished ringing his order, a vendor who is delivering a
tote of tortillas to the store and gives it to the busy cashier, or a bunch of
kids who just popped in to buy their bags of chips and drinks after school and
pushed to the front of the “line” to pay. No one says a word, sighs in
exasperation, grumbles under their breath, or shows a sign of irritation on
their face. Everyone is calm and patient, silently waiting their turn to pay
for their groceries. What a peaceful way to go through the day.
