Q.When shopping at a department store, who gets on/off an elevator first when the doors open, the people in the elevator or the people waiting for the elevator.

A. Wait until all passengers have exited an elevator before trying to enter the elevator. Department store elevators can be extremely crowded and this act of patience will benefit everyone by preventing unnecessary hostility.
