Only matters if you care about average latency.
Just like the website load times, you should be focused on the 99th percentile and the median. Single line reduces those metrics.
Really this boils down to whether the business is interested in saving a bit of money (fewer cashiers per purchase) or improving customer experience.
- ThrustVectoring 10y agoOccasionally causing large delays while maintaining the same mean response time will increase the 99th percentile and lower the median. The metric you want is to figure out what wait time constitutes good/acceptable/bad service, and what percentage of people get that service.
