Description

A drive through line at a new Burger King restaurant in Canada prompted one person call 911. Headlines were written about it and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police even tweeted about it. This week, “Something Offbeat” dives into why most of us agree to wait in lines with Dave Fagundes, a lawyer and professor at the University of Houston Law Center. He’s the author of a paper called “The Social Norms of Waiting in Line.”
