I assume waiting is using the stall as a parking lot. So if you plug in and then go shopping, you'll be billed for using the spot after your car is done charging. This encourages people to move so there isn't a lineup for the chargers. Some placed do have lineups, and they can get quite long. I haven't seen them in Canada yet though.
Supercharger Idle Fee
When we were in Waco, TX, there were 12 cars in total. 9 charging, 1 broken charger and 3 cars waiting. Lovely bakery next door with free coffee if you showed your "Tesla Key". Great food & baked goods if you were hungry. Found that we really liked Freddies Burgers & Custard while in TX.
Thanks for the explanation on the charging @mociaf9 , now after your explanation, I recall reading that.
