That queue makes me question the value in waiting (I got there at around 1145 and there was already a 15 min queue as I got mine at 1218. I was also at the vivocity location.)

Just a guess:

The majority of them aren't carrying anything...
Another photo

(apparently great world city location wasn't as bad. One reason why the queue might be so long is multiple people queueing to get even more. Also edited to add that you still have to turn right after this to get to the shop and this is only a partial view.)

People are standing in line for 15-30 minuets to save $3-$4?! I never understood things of this nature.

Sounds like the ice cream equivalent of a FT'er churning CC bonuses.
