A great topic to explore. Taking it into the 21st c, it seems people wait in line less at least in affluent parts of the US. They order things on their phone and pick them up to avoid waiting in line. They use self-service (something I never do) to avoid the person-to-person line. They have things delivered to their house. Has the golden age of waiting passed?

PS "Waiting on line," the NYC version of in line. My husband still uses it.
