美国这个黄牛小孩生财有道

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.
在德克萨斯州，喜欢烧烤类食品的人经常要排近3个小时的队才能从最好的烧烤摊位上买到自己的餐点，而一位有创业天赋的少年就通过为忙碌的成年人排队挣得了近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岁的德斯蒙德·罗尔丹在13岁的时候开始了他的业务，当时他决定在著名的食品摊位富兰克林之家排队挣得小费，在那里顾客平均要等6个小时。

"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.
“如果你决定要在富兰克林之家排五六个小时的队，我也可以为你提供电话咨询（要诀和技巧），作为交换，你要为奥斯汀狗狗援救组织奉献一点爱心，”他在自己的网站上写道。德斯蒙德用自己赚的钱买下了他的第一辆车，现在他在为上大学攒钱。

The Independent spoke to Roldan about his business for queuing.

How did you come up with the idea for BBQ Fast Pass?
你是怎样想到烧烤速递这个主意的？

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.
读七年级的时候，我跟家人说暑假要去找一份工作，但是我年纪太小，找不到工作。我叔叔提起富兰克林之家的队太长，他宁愿付钱请别人为他排队，然后我就想到了这个注意，把它做成了一门生意。

Have you ever been so hungry that you’ve eaten a customer’s order?

I keep it strictly professional, so no.
