Tyler Cowen: “Some stores may use growing and shrinking lines as a substitute for changing prices. The waiting time in line at my [supermarket] is often longest late at night.

During holidays, many stores simply don’t hire enough clerks. Perhaps this is because it takes some real smarts to get the number right in these cases, and it’s not worth the investment to get good managers for grocery stores.
