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.

vuduchile 1,940 Posted September 18, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted September 18, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 19, 2017 You guys getting the 8? Why not wait to at least see what the X is like...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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
