Meet Robert: He’s A Professional Line Sitter

Yes, people really do pay him to wait in line on their behalf. We caught up with him at Saturday Night Live in New York.

Robert Samuels makes a living waiting in queue for you.

He waits for Broadway tickets, Cronuts, restaurant, iPhones and even a chance for his (paying) customers to sit on Santa’s lap.

Robert doesn't just stand in line for you- he sleeps there too. His slogan? "We wait for your wants."
