I honestly don't think there is any "wait list" at any store...the term wait-list is a crowd control measure...It's a way of providing people with some comfort for a little while as the trend blows over...With a imaginary wait list, the customer at least things that the store TRIED to get them the product and simply couldn't due to circumstances out of their hands.

It's also against a lot of store's policy to "wait list" products. It's a first come first serve basis and unless rain checks or layaways are allowed, a wait list is not something stores generally produce, use and follow through with.
