Last year my dh stood in line while I waited in the warm car. We were no where near the front of the line and then when the line started to move I jumped in with him. Really I don't see the problem with that because whether or not I got in line with him 10 minutes before we got in the store we're going to be buying the same thing. I don't do BB or CC where they have the ticket system or limit of one so we're not doing it to get coveted tickets or to get 2 of something that your only allowed to get 1 per person.
