Professional line standing has become increasingly common in recent years, though it has existed in the US since the early 1990s. The service had been provided in Washington D.C. for people who wanted to attend debates and meetings on Capitol Hill. Professional line standing came to the nation’s attention in 2012. Some professional line standers who were in line outside the Supreme Court for four days attracted media attention.
