One of my biggest and earliest cross-cultural learnings was going to a bank in Israel to get some cash out in about 2002. I stood in line dutifully and I waited and waited and I got literally nowhere while people walked in after me and just started conversations with the tellers and people in line and got served

Hmm, a software manifestation of social and political stereotypes.
Kind of leaves a strange aftertaste for an otherwise useful concept.
In hindsight it's mildly surprising Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Borat) didn't author this one.

'chat 'n' cut'
The referenced source for the name (Polling with batch service)[0] never uses the term "Israeli Queues", although the doi abstract[1] mentions the phrase and it implies it's unsuitable (no fond usage there).
Seems tasteless. Maybe the author doesn't understand, maybe ChatGPT wrote the article & incorrect reference, maybe this is an attempt at SEO.
