Should you be able to pay to avoid a queue?

We all know the frustrations of queuing, but should we be able to buy our way to the front?

In India huge lines have been forming outside banks as people try to exchange worthless high-value notes after the government's latest currency reform.

Two Indian businessmen have started an app called Book My Chotu, which helps you hire somebody who can stand in the queue for you until your turn comes. And it's not just in India; a US app called LineAngel can also get you someone to bag a place in line. Its co-founder is J'Net Nguyen.
