[ SLANG ][ QUEUE & ALLOCATION MACHINES ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
The habit of dutifully watching a virtual queue's countdown and position number without question, trusting the system's ordering even though no real physical line exists.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Full queue obedience for two hours straight, refreshing nothing, just watching the number tick down."
LORE & ORIGIN
A predictive term naming the behavioral pattern virtual queues create, where users treat a machine-generated waiting position with the same deference as a real, physical line.
