The growing industry of waiting in lines for other people has emerged over the past 10 years. One man who saw the potential for this type of work is Robert Samuel, founder of Same Ole Line Dudes (SOLD Inc.). He got into the business in 2012 after he lost his job as a sales representative in New York City. In desperate need of cash, he decided to place an advertisement offering to wait in someone else’s place to purchase the soon-to-be-released iPhone 5.


在過去十年內，替他人排隊的新興產業已出現。看到此類工作潛力的人是羅伯特．山繆，他是 Same Ole Line Dudes（SOLD Inc.）公司的創始人。在紐約市失去業務工作之後，他於 2012 年進入該行業。由於急需現金，他決定刊登廣告，替他人排隊購買即將販售的 iPhone 5。
