It may sound like adorable Manhattan College student Amanda Foote made off
like a bandit for selling the first spot in line at Apple's flagship store
for $900. After all, app developer Hazem Sayed was willing to fork over nine
benjamins in order to have the shiny new toy in time for his weekend
business trip. But Foote had to get there at 5 p.m. Wednesday in order to
score the first spot in line. (Apple, BestBuy, Target, and Walmart won't let
iPad 2 fiends in until 5 p.m. today.) And she and Sayed didn't swap places
until after she'd been there for 41 hours, enduring both yesterday's rain
and doughnut-theft-by-stranger — all for the hourly rate of $21.95. Surely
there's a better way to buy Lady Gaga tickets (Foote's splurge of choice)?
Oh, she's a media studies major? Never mind then. This kind of
entrepreneurial side-job spirit is just what you need! |
