Not sure, this may be a rant, but anyway. I was going to visit Phoenix last month, didn't work out. So I'm coming there this weekend for about 2 weeks, and it just so happens that the iPhone was a bit difficult to pre-order the right kind last night, so I'm going to have to go to the store and wait in line.
I posted this ad on Craigslist, offering to pay someone $50 to wait 7hrs for me in line:

I honestly thought $50 would be too low, because technically it's below the minimum wage of $7.6/hr. I'm requiring them to stay in the same spot from 11pm - 6am, at which point I'll get there to replace them. I thought I'd get maybe 1-2 responses at most.
My phone is blowing up! I have so many texts/calls/emails, it's nuts. Kind of makes me wonder, maybe I'm paying too much? I may post a different one for $40 to see how that pans out. But this truly is proof that people don't value their time, and that our economy is going to shit if people are willing to do something like this. I mean, I could do it myself, just don't feel like it's worth losing sleep over honestly. I would have ordered the phone online, just don't want to wait 3-4 weeks to get it, because I want to be one of the first reviewers / unboxers on Youtube, to help boost my channel.
