Out of curiosity and because I was going to be 500 feet away, I did one of the $6 cell phone shops last evening. It is reported using a smart phone app and as such is fast and easy to report. The information which I had to gather took just a few minutes. BUT - I got lucky in that I did not have to wait in the Big Box electronics store. There is not a "maximum time to wait" specified, so this could go sour if you had to wait mo0re than maybe 5 minutes. At $6, it doesn't make sense to drive more than a mile out of your way. I view this as an acceptable filler if you are literally going to be in the neighborhood, and can be there when you think that there will not be a line. There is one quick narrative which even I could do within the smart phone app.
The $9 cell phone shop which they do is different, and I have done it in a variety of different types of stores. Again, fairly quick to report but it has two narratives which I find easier to fill out on my PC. This is not your typical cell phone shop, but it is still a filler to be done along a route you will be traveling anyway.
