Respect the queue!
Canadians have a longstanding tradition of respecting the queue! When waiting to buy a coffee, see a film, pay bills, or try on clothes in a shop, always go to the end of the line and wait your turn. In Canada it's "first-come, first-served" - not "most aggressive wins." If you're ever confused about this it's perfectly acceptable to ask someone where the line (or "line-up") ends so that you can take your place in it.
