The shop is going to give me a service loner after the Holiday so they can keep the car and figure out what's wrong with it. It seems to me the AC is working alright except when the car is sitting still for awhile it seems its not cooling. But while moving it seems to work!

This description sounds like a air flow problem over the condenser. A bad fan clutch/cooling fan motor, ect...when you are driving the car, there is more flow over the condenser, keeping the a/c pressures in check. When you stop, you loose that air flow, pressures rise and cooling sufffers. I don't know if your vehicle uses and fan clutch or a electric fan, but you can check and see if the radiator fan is running with the a/c on while the vehicle is in park. A good check would be to see if that , while the engine is running, with the a/c on, if a plain old sheet of paper will sucked up against the grill of the vehicle from the air being drawn in by the fan.
