A system for scheduling activities at a user terminal associated with a point-of-service station, such that the users idle time is exceeded when the value of the idle time is likely to exceed the cost of overrunning the primary transaction associated with the point-of-service station. When the cost of overrun is expected to be greater than the value of the activity the activity is not presented to the user. This determination is made by using value criteria, the expected value of the activity, and the expected overrun of the activity. Additionally, the value criteria may be modified by the interarrival time of users at the point-of-service station or the utilization of the point-of-service station.
