Imagine that it is a fresh day, waking up to have a nice cup of coffee and you are planning to eat a hot creamy fried chicken cheeseburger in “Five guys cheeseburger shop” and you reach the spot to get your favorite munchies. But when you reach the spot you see a myriad of people waiting in the queue and it seems like you too have to stand along with them and get your bites.
Your hungry tummy tells you, you need to get your munchies quickly, but you see a hell lot of crowd to get it, and also it is the best spot to taste such a mouth-watery cheesy chicken burger where no one else sells such a heavenly burger.
Now there are two instances of how you react, either you’ll wait in the queue for a long time to get them or you’ll shift to the other eateries and try to satisfy your hunger.
Well, let’s say that you stood in the queue and finally, you made it standing near the counter where the counter guy greeted you “Thanks for your patience and here’s your Burger, Enjoy your Snack” and getting your favorite burger in your hand hovering straight into the mouth. This is where the delight comes in and you are perfectly satisfied with what you have got.
