problem: don't trust the current status #203

Problem: when watching a store, deciding whether to go, there's no way to verify the current status or at least make a more informed decision to believe it.

I've been to a store, counted the line and marked it as 26 people in line when I got there (about 4pm) and 42 when I left, but when I got home it had been changed to "no line" which is pretty unbelievable (it's a busy store going into a peak time). Being able to see a history of updates would allow me to make a more informed decision.

It looks like the maximum time limit for any store is "6 hours ago" (is this true?), but if this is how it works it's misleading, it should really say "no recent data" because no-one actually said "no line" 6 hours ago. I don't know if this is the case, but I would if there was a history.

Solution: for each store, have a history button so you can see details of each update. A list of When (in UTC if timezones are too hard, along with X hours/mins ago) and How Many. Ideally a hourly graph with last week's data overlayed as well would be the best UI, as it would give an indication of expected levels if data is sparse.
