It is and is not. One strongly suggests it is happening right at this moment. And so does the word čeká. To suggest otherwise and make it a regular repetitive activity you would need to squeeze in something like "always waits" "vždy čeká" .
Why not "She is waiting on two sweaters"? I speak AmE, and that is extremely common. In the American South, you will hear this almost exclusively. Many other "incorrect" colloquialisms are excepted.
