How Waiting in a Queue can Save You Money
Approximate $ Savings: $10 upwards
When Big W and Target introduced the long que system rather than lining up at individual cash registers I did not like this change, however, I now prefer it as the longer wait in the que allows me to look at each item I'm holding and decide if I really need it or not. I sometimes decide at this point to leave items at the register rather than to purchase them, thus saving me money. Also, you can calculate the estimated cost so when you get to the cash register you are not as shocked.
