"Kind-of" queues are very common in continental Europe. It has taken me a long time to learn to wait. I remember one of my children was with me in a boulangerie in France where the queue was moving very slowly because everone was talking with each other and kissing each other six times - three at the "hello" and three at the "aurevoir". "You'd think that these people had all day, the way they talk and talk," I said. "But you've got all of today as well," said my little boy.
Another time in a doctor's surgey the wait was always over an hour, sometimes two. This was because the doctor - there was only one - took all day with each patient, usually singing opera while diagnosing. Again this was in a village in France.
One time I said to him,"Have you thought of some sort of appointment system?" He looked directly at me saying, "Why should I do that?" "Because your patients come here and wait for hours. They even come early so they are queuing long before you get here." "Ah!!" he said. "You think they get cured in here. No! No! No!, most of the healing takes place out there in the waiting room. Most of them only come to chatter away with each other. They need that more than they need me."
That's not on topic, but if you've waited, reading so far:
I agree with you that it is to be hoped that as a benefit of the camino we all slow down enough to be able to wait and even use the waiting well. Maybe the ability to wait peacefully is a virtue. It's not, however, one that many pilgrims train for on the camino where getting going early and arriving early all as fast as possible is not unknown. I suppose if you'd peed in the bushes most wouldn't have noticed, few would have objected and all would have known what you wanted.
