Italian queues

The meek shall inherit the earth.
Eventually.
We went to a phone shop to buy a sim card. There was a number system so we took number 37 and waited.
19,20 and 21 had all been called.
30 minutes later 19,20 and 21 had been called. The man next to us had no. 26 and had been waiting an hour.
People kept popping in and looking at the displayed numbers. Our man was called at 70 minutes.
We were lucky it was only 50 minutes.
We wanted to climb the Duomo tower and Saturdays queue had been 100 metres long so we bought the tickets online on the advertised promise of no queues. After paying, the website advised no available 'priority spots' for three days🤔
So we got their early and queued
The views were worth it.
