The answer is: Consumers often had to wait in long lines to purchase goods and services.

In a central planning, the production of goods and services would be fully controlled by the Government. In this system, the distribution of goods and services would be operated by the Government with little to no cost, and long-lines is very common to obtain the goods because the people couldn't obtain the goods any other else.
