喜茶黃牛不光中國有
In Texas, fans of BBQ food often queue for up to three hours to get their fix at the best stands - and an entrepreneurial teenager has made almost $20,000 cashing in on queuing for busy adults.
在德克薩斯州，喜歡燒烤類食品的人經常要排近3個小時的隊才能從最好的燒烤攤位上買到自己的餐點，而一位有創業天賦的少年就通過爲忙碌的成年人排隊掙得了近20,000美金。Desmond Roldan, 15, set up his business aged 13, when he decided to queue for a fee at the legendary food stall Franklin's, where customers wait for six hours on average.
15歲的德斯蒙德·羅爾丹在13歲的時候開始了他的業務，當時他決定在著名的食品攤位富蘭克林之家排隊掙得小費，在那裏顧客平均要等6個小時。"If you do decide to get in the 5-6 hour line at Franklin's, I am also offering consulting by phone (tips and tricks) in exchange for a small donation to austin Dog Rescue," he writes on his website. Desmond used the money he raised to buy his first car, and is now saving for college.
“如果你決定要在富蘭克林之家排五六個小時的隊，我也可以爲你提供電話諮詢（要訣和技巧），作爲交換，你要爲奧斯汀狗狗援救組織奉獻一點愛心，”他在自己的網站上寫道。德斯蒙德用自己賺的錢買下了他的第一輛車，現在他在爲上大學攢錢。
The Independent spoke to Roldan about his business for queuing.
《獨立報》就羅爾丹的排隊業務對他進行了採訪。How did you come up with the idea for BBQ Fast Pass?
你是怎樣想到燒烤速遞這個主意的？
In seventh grade I was talking with my family about getting a job for the summer and I was too young to get a job. My uncle was talking about how there's a long line at Franklin's and that he would pay someone to wait in line and I took the idea and made it into a business.
讀七年級的時候，我跟家人說暑假要去找一份工作，但是我年紀太小，找不到工作。我叔叔提起富蘭克林之家的隊太長，他寧願付錢請別人爲他排隊，然後我就想到了這個注意，把它做成了一門生意。Have you ever been so hungry that you’ve eaten a customer’s order?
你曾有過因太餓而吃了客戶點的餐的時候嗎？I keep it strictly professional, so no.
我嚴格保持專業性，所以沒有。What is the most you have been paid to queue for someone?
你幫別人排隊得到的最多的報酬是多少？Once a hedge fund guy paid my highest rate because it was a holiday weekend and then he gave me over $200.
曾經有一個做對衝基金的人付給我的報酬最多，因爲當時是一個假期的週末，然後他給了我200多美金。Anything else you’d like readers to know?
你還有什麼想要讓讀者知道的嗎？I work two other jobs, I'm getting good grades and I also donate some of the money I make to help rescue dogs.
我還有兩份其他的工作，我成績很好，我也會捐一部分錢去幫忙救助狗狗。
