Default In which nations don't you stand in line?
An easy way to start conflicts here is to cut in line in e.g a supermarket. Same happens in America.

In Britain you even have to queue up for buses, that's not the rule here.

I've heard in Poland people don't stand in line. How does it works then? And how did these two systems evolved?

It is shocking Poles don't stand in lines, as this was the main form of entertainment in now a day ex-commie Europe in the 1980's.

Here are People's Republic Poles standing in line perfectly, but possibly the necessity of queue's is ordered only when there is deficit of the most essential goods.

and the ones who don't are looked down on... 'they must be gypsies'.

Who said Poles dont stand in line? They stand less than eg Brits, but they still usually do. There is no choice anyway, how can you imagine everyday life with everyone elbowing their way everywhere?

Visible difference is in a public transport- in UK people usually (exluding London) wait in line for buses, but in supermarkets or offices there are lines everywhere.

Internal to US society, whether or not people respect lines is one way I separate civilized folk from savages. You can really see the ignorant savagery come out at some of those "Black Friday" holiday sales. People line jumping, gate crashing, stampeding, etc. for some Cabbage Patch Kid or Tickle Me Elmo... pathetic. They should round those people up and ship them to some re-education camp where they are conditioned to behave like human beings.
