Would you pay someone to stand in line for you?

These guys will stand in long lines for you, for a certain fee of
course.
Most people hate standing in long lines. It is the bane of their existence, and if there’s a way to get whatever it is that they’re looking for without having to waste hours of their lives waiting in line, they’ll find it.
However, there is one man who really loves standing in line. So much so that he’s even started a business from it. For $25 an hour, Robert Samuel will stand in line for you. His business, Same Ole Line Dudes, offers a service where, if you don’t have the time or patience, they will wait in line for you.
With the inception of online shopping, online ordering, and online everything else, one would think this business wouldn’t be as profitable now as it would have been 10 years ago. But, actually, business is booming, with Samuel revealing that he routinely makes up to $1,000 per week!
If we had this service in South Africa, would you use it? And what would you ask them to stand in life for?
