How to personalize a template
Strong waiting-room description shows what the viewpoint is waiting for, what information is actually available, how seating and nearby people affect privacy, what visible timing or queue cues change expectations and what happens when a name, number, door, message or departure changes the room. It avoids diagnosing strangers or inventing clinical, appointment, queue or privacy procedures.
