The Inevitable Wait Time

The Inevitable Wait Time

Any customer-service oriented company knows that managing wait times are crucial for their customer satisfaction and bottom-line. Whether on the phone, at the checkout counter, or in a restaurant, long wait times lead to a subpar customer experience and a drop in sales.

Example: A long waiting line at the checkout counter can benefit from 70s music playing in the background.
