Places Where People Hate to Wait

Look at this list of 10 of the places people most hate to get stuck waiting in line:

  1. Hospitals: Even if you walked in feeling okay, you will probably leave with a headache after waiting in this line.
  2. Pharmacies: It’s bad enough you need a prescription, let alone having to endure a long wait. Waiting lines are inevitable in many situations, but even the businesses involved in these waiting lines can take measures to improve the experience for their customers.
  3. Restrooms: When you need to go, you must go.
  4. Restaurants: Are you hungry? Your table is not ready yet or order is taking too long? Aahhhh!
  5. Grocery stores: Choosing the “right” checkout line is like a game of chess where the grocery store holds you in checkmate.
  6. Retail stores: From customer service to the dressing room and checkout, these lines may be necessary but they’re just getting in the way of a good shopping spree!
  7. Airport security checkpoint: Luggage and shoes and laptops, oh my!
  8. Concessions stand at events: There’s nothing worse than missing a potential turning point in a game or that one special song at a concert when your child needs a snack, or you just couldn’t wait for that second beer.
  9. Theme parks: You decide to dive headfirst into that 45-minute wait, knowing what you are getting into, but somehow nerves still set in before you’re even halfway through the expected wait time.
  10. Movie theatres: It is amazing how the anxiety builds until your bottom is firmly in your seat ready for the first preview.
