Would you queue up forever to gain a bit of cash?

A new shop opened up with an opening day offer of 0.999 eur/l gasoline (about 5 usd/gal) when the normal price is around 1.63 eur/l (~ 8.2 usd/gal). Obviously there was a per buyer limit of 100 l so the max benefit was around 63 euros (~84 usd).

However, since people loose all capability for rational thinking when cheap gasoline is mentioned there was a queue. A very long queue. At its best/worst you had to wait somewhere between 3 to 5 hrs in a 3+ mile long queue to get your chance to save 80 bucks, whilst happily ignoring the fact that you'd probably loose half the gains while waiting for your turn.

I bet the truckers stuck in that traffic were super happy over that whole thing.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Usually to me...time IS money, I probably wouldn't waste hours to save 50 bucks like that.

Depends upon how much money you've got as to whether or not it would be worth it to wait in that line to save a few bucks. Rich people won't, poor people will.
