Queuing is one way that companies create the perception of scarcity, this leads to people being willing to pay more or buy without comparing the price, due to their fear of missing out. It can also add an air of exclusivity, where people will pay more for an item to convey a VIP status. I'm certain they choose not to scale the servers, the few lost customers wouldn't be worth the cost when they're able to price gouge the patient. And once all the stores are doing it, what choice is there?

It seems more reasonable to me in that circumstance, as it's a temporary scenario, they would have little idea of what demand would be and potentially were not able to scale their profit to cover increased load cost.

If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?

I was going to say that I'd trust my luck more with a post-apocalypse optician than post apocalypse lasik and I think you make my point quite well.

That's exactly what I mean by in the shadows, just getting some web guy to alter it without mention and hope noone is paying attention.
