take a number 

Used to tell someone to wait their turn for something, such as to speak with a person or to ask a person for something. Taken from the system of hospitals and pharmacies of taking a piece of paper with a number on it from a big red roll and waiting for your number to come up on the screen. When your number came up, you were served.
Take a number, honey, I'm way too busy right now.
