queuers
Those awaiting turns
Queuers are people waiting in a queue—a line formed for service or entry.
The term is more common in British English, where queue dominates over the American line: The queuers grew restless as the box office delayed opening.
Someone who queues regularly or patiently might be called a queuer.
