A March Ipsos poll of 1,003 adults shows Americans impatient in lines and on phone holds. Average store line patience is 17 minutes with 9 minutes on hold. Women wait longer than men, and higher education or income correlates with less patience. City residents are less patient than suburban residents. Margin of error is about 3 points.
