Genius startup idea offers to rent a person to stand in line for you

BY YVETTE TAN From Mashable

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.

The company says they provide “live photo and video updates” every 15 minutes, so it’s really almost like you’re there.

iQueue adds that some of its popular requests include queuing for sneakers, concert tickets and of course, mobile phones.
