What Do You Call These People?

[MJ DeMarco]

I'm in the middle of a chapter for my book and I'm having a shortage of words to describe people who don't value time ...

For example,

The guy who drives 2 hours to save $20.
The guy who takes a plane with 3 stops to save $75
The guy who waits in line 5 hours to buy the latest video game.

These people are poor valuators of time.

I'm looking for a catchy phrase to describe these types of people ...

They are "Time Bandits" or "cheapskates" for example. (Bad example, but an idea.)

Any ideas? Yveskleinsky this is right up your alley.

Thanks for the ideas.
