There's a lot of concern for what "an alpha would have done" in the beginning. Just remember this. Ahphas do whatever it is they want to do. If you want to stand in line for two hours to show support for a friend... do it.
I was in a gas station with a female friend not long ago, and realized we're standing in line and I look ridiculous because I had no real reason to be there. I was just following her around for no good reason. So... I walked out and sat in my car. She came out when she was done and asked me why I did it, and I told her... there's no point in standing around looking like an idiot because I had no reason to be there. I wasn't buying anything.
My choice was to go do something else. If it had been someone I wanted to catch up with, I'd have stayed. But my opinion is that two hours to check out is more than slightly unreasonable, and I would not have done that regardless of circumstances.
So it's all relative. You'll see how you act when you get further into it. It's a matter of valuing your time properly sometimes, which is something I am going to be increasing in the 2012 set.
