CQWQ
CQWQ is the English abbreviation for “ can't queue, won't queue ” ( can't queue, don't want to queue ). This term was created by social researchers in 2006 to describe the psychological-social change in the waiting culture in Great Britain .
Until now the disciplined standing in line, without grumbling or complaining, was considered a downright British virtue, now - especially among younger people - an attitude of refusal can be observed; d. H. impatience does not lead to being pushed into the queue or to other aggression, but to complete (consumption) renunciation. This behavior is characterized, for example, by leaving fully packed shopping trolleys standing in the supermarket, to neglecting health care in order not to have to wait in the waiting room.
