You get a timeout when there are no messages to deliver immediately.
Presumably that’s what you want and you should terminate your program
in such case, but RabbitMQ consumers are typically long running
and are not started periodically.

N.B. there is a SharedQueue#Dequeue version which accepts the timeout you want.
