not sure re queue, but recall reading of others that fast
interesting how it varies, but that they can deliver
btw re waiting at an agency, if your number is called and there is still someone being served, interrupt them. (just to let employee see that your number was called.) if you dont, and your number disappears, employee may have no way of knowing that your number did come up.
