Get in line! Why queues are good.
The economics of queuing
Queuing, or waiting in line, is close to being a national sport in the UK. We find out how orderly people are in other countries, such as Japan, when it comes to waiting their turn. "Dr Queue" - Dick Larson, Professor of Data, Systems and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, tells us how many years we'll spend queuing throughout our lives.
