It depends on what your time is worth... if you need to see someone same day, or near term, you can actually get some work done while waiting. Often when I go to a dr's office I spend an hour+ in the waiting room, then another hour+ in the office mostly waiting. All told, I can have an appointment at 9am, but won't get to work before noon. I'd much rather pay $100 out of pocket and work from home that morning and be in the office in the afternoon, for a 30 minute visit. It really depends on what you make, and what your time is worth. Beyond that is the convenience factor. People wait extra long in a drive through, when there's no waiting if you walk in... They will order food delivery instead of take-out. They will do any number of things to make it more convenient. For that matter, I order almost everything practical via Amazon... I go to the store for produce because I prefer to pick my own and for clothes because sizing is hard. I'm not reclusive I just don't enjoy those things as much and would rather be doing something else... if I can recover 3hrs of my time on a work day, or hell after hours as mentioned in the article for < $100, I'll take it. |

I totally agree for something as routine as a physical, but if i'm sick, i probably don't want to squeeze in more to my day. It may be more convenient to stay in bed, but if i'm not doing much that day anyway...
