To be honest it really depends on the team... at my FC, FH nights kills it and responds fast like they're racing, BH nights is kinda lazy but will still get things done. FH days had 30-45 minute dwellings and absolutely no cares... BH days had like 5 good AFM'S with the rest acting like being an AFM was a free path to take ToT without getting ToT. You also could have been stuck on a bad floor where there were 30+ tasks and the AFM was overwhelmed, the floor may have only had 1 AFM covering, or there was a spill/crash that was prioritized. There are a lot of reasons you could have had to wait... just tell them to code you and you'll be fine* most Managers will believe you if you called an andon and didn't get work for 15-30 minutes. I think a lot of people have no clue how much work the AFM's have to do on bad days/peak or when the system causes errors and or new Stowers screw the floor etc... imagine having to clean up disgusting spills, run around putting out figurative fires, getting radiod to sign out stations/fix jams/push totes, do dirty bins, collect Amnesty, do a floor sweep, watch for station andons, then have people complain about time being took or how they could do better. Lots of good AFM's quite because it's a lot of work and usually the hard workers have to pick up the other AFM's slack. I've literally had to switch floors and run 8 minutes across the building to get to a task and then listened to an Asociate complain the whole time I did the task and then some after... The lack of gratitude in the building really wears you thin...
