Two Food Stalls, One Crowd, No Line in Sight. Ask This.

To say where do I line up? in Japanese, say どこに並びますか？ (doko ni narabimasu ka?).

Two food stalls, one blur of people, and no idea which line is even the line.

どこに並びますか？ doko ni narabimasu ka? where do I line up?

どこに並びますか？ doko ni narabimasu ka? Where do I line up?
すみません、どこに並びますか？ sumimasen, doko ni narabimasu ka? Excuse me, where do I line up?
こっちですか？ kocchi desu ka? Over here?

Why this phrase

The summer matsuri queue problem. Yatai stalls at festivals rarely have a clear line, and cutting in is a real faux pas. Teach 「どこに並びますか？」 as the polite way to ask where to line up, opened with 「すみません」.
