Saw the line outside the Apple store here in Pasadena this morning and thought "Task Rabbit".

Now the REAL question, how much did this guy make for his 90 hours of standing in line???


I was going to say, "it's in the article" then I went back and realized it's not in the post (I think it was in previous posts about it).

Kinda surprised since they could have done a lot of PR with, "THIS GUY MADE 1500!"


I thought so too, but it turns out he only made about 16.70 an hour. All things considered it was decent enough for a one time thing, but thats really not that much money.


Many people have lots of trouble finding even $10 jobs these days! Plus, those are the people who are most likely to sign up to be TaskRabbits. Furthermore, he can read, sleep, play videogames, etc. while getting paid.

I'd say he got a great deal.


$1500. He mentioned on twitter.


Wow. This site looks like Quibids.

They actually misspell "jewelry" as "jewellery" right on the front page. Ouch.


"jewellery" is a chiefly, but not strictly, british spelling.


In fact, it's the spelling used in many countries, including Australia.
