queue  (順番を待つ人や乗り物の)列;

---

When I visited one supermarket, I saw many people queuing at one cash register even though no one was waiting at some of the others. I was curious, so I joined the queue. I found out why. The cashier was superb! She was a tall, thin woman in her 40s and seemed to have worked there for a long time. The way she put the items in the basket was excellent. She even brought the basket to the counter where you bag your things. She did everything very efficiently. Many regular customers know about her, so they choose to queue at her cash register. If you get into her queue, you will understand how different she is from the other cashiers. (by a Jaremaga reader)

Notes
citrus 柑橘(かんきつ)類の植物;
Mandarin orange 温州ミカン;

When I think of citrus fruit, I think of warm places. That’s because most of the oranges and grapefruit in the U.S. are grown in California, Florida, and Texas, and these states have warm climates. In Japan, however, citrus fruit is in season when it’s cold. Mandarin oranges are coming into season now. My wife bought mandarin oranges the other day, and then her sister gave us more from her husband’s hometown, Kumamoto. I was given some “sudachi” from someone I work with, and the next day, my wife got more from a friend of hers. My house is now full of citrus fruit! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
