MODERATORS
As a European I'm confused.
Did the cashier you were queued for stop accepting customers? If not, what exactly is the queue etiquette supposed to be here? Nobody moves to the new queue until the person in front of them confirms they don't desire to switch?
What I'm used to from grocery shops/supermarkets is that, as soon as a new cashier opens, everyone in the queue evaluates for themselves whether their place in the new queue would be faster and moves accordingly. If practical (new queue is close to the old one and can be reached by simply walking over) the order from the old queue is generally preserved. If instead the natural way to move would invert the order (tight isles, obstacles between the queues) that is simply what happens. In either case, this usually splits the queue into roughly equal parts in a quick and efficient manner and does so organically, without the need for verbal communication.
I'm curious how this is normally done in the UK/US.
