Great ice cream is at most 5% more delicious than very good ice cream, which means I'll wait in line 5% longer than a normal ice cream cone from anywhere else. Waiting in line for 30-plus minutes is a waste of time, plain and simple.

To each their own. I've never waited more than 5 minutes to get an ice cream cone anywhere...unlikely that I'd wait much more than that for it as I hate lines. But for me, generic ice cream/DQ is about 70% worse than the good stuff. Cheap stuff goes down easily enough (though without any wow factor), but then gives me a slight headache - not the case with fresher stuff containing fewer 15 letter ingredients.
I'm not an organic-granola pesticide-hating freak or anything, but I have a very healthy diet now, so artificial stuff seems more disruptive and honestly just doesn't taste as good. It's not much different than comparing a McDonald's burger to a $20 gourmet burger at a decent restaurant. You'd have to pay me to eat the former, the latter is worth every penny to me.
