New App - rent a person to stand in line for you @ apple store Friday

Recommended Posts

Heads up Apple fans, we have a feeling this service could soon come in handy.
A new startup aptly named iQueue, is offering to stand in line for you, at a cost.
Founded in Singapore, the service currently has 10 professional "queuers" on its team, consisting of mostly students and homemakers, according to a report by news outlet Today.
There are various "queuing packages" available on iQueue, which calls itself a "professional queueing service."
They range from $15 (S$20) per hour, to a bulk-rate 18 hour package, going for $185.

Renting people is usually not a great move financially.

 

You might get a shiny new one every few years, but you never build any equity, so you never actually own anyone.

 

It's much better to buy the person you can truly afford instead of paying exorbitant monthly lease fees for the latest, greatest model.

Sounds like a hassle. Is there an app that will get someone else to hire a person for me?

Hold the phone

 

 

It's it professional queuers or professional queers?

 

Queers don't tend to hold their value long term, so renting might be a better option, depending on the type of queer.

Getting it in the mail on Friday. I'm already wasting enough money on a product I don't need, why waste even more?

I frequently wonder what I would do for a living if I ever returned to the US. I suppose I'm qualified to get into this line of work.

Why pay a white guy 20 an hour when I can pay a messican 5.50?

 

 

I'm going to come up with the messican version of this app.

NEVER get the 1st iteration of anything.

 

Always super buggy and the 2nd one is always better (unless it's a movie)

Maybe. I will either get the X from glowing reviews and personal testimony, or keep my 7 until the Xs or whatever comes out. I see no reason to go from 7 to 8 though.

I already know what it's like, they had the keynote. I know every detail about it. The features it gives me vs the 8 are not things I'm interested in for the increased price. Truth be told, even at the same price I would pick the 8. Just dif strokes, if the X is appealing, you should get it.
