I HATE waiting in lines bc I am impatient and antsy. I did queue outside Barclays for seven hours when I was 18 to see 5 seconds of summer but never again!! I would probably wait in line to see a very old famous movie star speak. I have been listening to a lot of Nora Ephron audiobooks recently and I am fascinated by how she uses “on line” vs. “in line” - old school New York verbiage

Does long lines mean scarcity of places or scarcity of excellence?
