Below is a picture I took at the local clinic.  
There are a few things to make note of in this picture.  
One is that to the far right is a small machine with which you generate a number.  Although I was certainly familiar with them in the U.S., these are everywhere here.  


The second thing of note, and the actual reason I took the picture, are the shoe covers.  As I believe I wrote earlier, when entering someone's home in Sweden, one takes off one's shoes at the door.  Typically slippers are provided by the host/hostess.  I have been to open-houses to look at Swedish real estate, and although sometimes I have been allowed to leave my shoes on, there are more occasions when I have been asked to take off my shoes, or have been provided with shoe covers.
In some businesses, like the one pictured above, shoe covers are provided if the weather is messy.
