Interview with a Professional Queue Holder
A student interviews a person whose job is to wait in line with confidence.
Interviewer: Thank you for speaking with me. What exactly does a professional queue holder do?
Queue Holder: I stand in line for people who are busy, tired, or emotionally unprepared for popular bakeries.
Interviewer: Is waiting difficult?
Queue Holder: Anyone can stand still. The skill is looking patient when the line does not move for twenty minutes.
Interviewer: What tools do you need?
Queue Holder: Comfortable shoes, a small folding chair, water, and a face that says, "I chose this life."
Interviewer: Have you ever lost a place in line?
Queue Holder: Once. A child asked me a question about dinosaurs, and I stepped forward emotionally but not physically. The line moved without me.
Interviewer: What is your advice for beginners?
Queue Holder: Respect the queue. Never argue with the person holding six shopping bags. That person has already seen everything.
