no one seems to do any time valuations on personal time anymore. i used to try explaining to my mom that driving 30 minutes out of her way to get $0.05 cheaper gas is not cost effective. people just look at me screwy when i try explaining how my time is worth something, and 11% off even $100 worth of stuff doesn't cover having to stand around in a line for 45 minutes.
remember circuit city? when they declared bankruptcy their inventory got bought by a third party which re-marked everything discounted off MSRP, which was about 30-40% higher than circuit cities original pricing... they had people wrapped all the way around the perimeter with stuff.
i stood around and watched for a good hour, enjoying myself.

May I point out that you also went. Twice! Sure you didn't stay to stand in line but you still went.
You consider waiting in line for 45 minutes a waste of time but stood and watched people standing in line for an hour? You are confusing me.
