what is meant by "post office queueing" in this context?


Cheers,

The Royal Mail has undertaken a redesign of its branches. Instead of
queuing in a line, you take a number from a machine for the type of
service that you require and approach a counter when your number is called.

At least I think that's what it means.



That's happening in only a very small number of branches, mainly
former Crown offices. Most other POs still use a queueing system.
