Would You Queue for 18 Hours to Try a New Restaurant ?

No way would I queue for anything for that amount of time. You see people camping out for sales, definitely not me, I struggle in a supermarket queue.

I just read the article. Why on earth would you want to? Its only another fast food chain. Ridiculous. Some people are desperate If you ask me.

I wouldn't queue for 18 hours for anything, even if they were giving it away free.

Not a chance I would queue for 18hrs for a restaurant. I would be happy waiting till it's less popular and go with no queue, if it's a restaurant that constantly has queues then it looks like I won't go. Popeye's is not the most fabulous of places worthy of a queue more than 10min

That is absolutely madness, why would anybody queue for that length of time! I certainly wouldn't.

Now I've always wanted to try popeyes but I wouldn't even queue for 30minutes let alone 18 hours. I'm guessing most of them were influencers or wanna be influencers. If they go next week they will be waiting like 10 minutes.

Nope not a chance got better things to do with my time like being on here

I wouldn't like to queue for 18 minutes, let alone 18 hours.

I concur with E, l hate queuing for anything at all, supermarket, bus stop, post office even being held in a queue on the telephone...Aargh

I don’t think I would queue that long for anything. Ah maybe to be evacuated to safety.

It seems the second world war was to blame for queuing , a case of the government trying to control the people even back then

Heres a bit of history of it and a link to more

www.yours.co.uk/leisure/nostalgia/the-british-etiquette-of-queuing/

Why are British people known for queuing?

But what really shaped Britain's reputation as civilised queuers was World War II. "Propaganda at the time was all about doing your duty and taking your turn," says Bradley. "It was a way the government tried to control a situation in uncertain times."

Never in my life! Beyond me why people are so desperate to be first in line to eat fast food

No. I value my time.

Hell no can wait til the hype dies down to go for dinner

I really can’t understand why people would wait in any kind of queue like that just to taste food I don’t have the patience to wait in McDonalds these days and that’s when it’s not even busy

No way why would anyone it’s beyond me . Nearly put my basket down earlier , then was over the moon when a new counter opened up- I was like a rocket then the managed to get served first.. happy days !

Absolutely no chance! The idiocy of some people is beyond me!

Like the morons who queue for ages at a cheap petrol station!….sat with the engine idling and it costs them more in fuel than they would be saving!??

There may have been a prize incentive for the first 50 - 100 customers through the door. Companies, such as Tim Hortons, offer a decent selection of prizes, such as free drinks for a year, at new location openings. But, 18 hours is chicken feed in comparison to waiting 30+ years for some beef croquettes in Japan - edition.cnn.com/travel/article/japan-kobe-beef-croquettes-30-year-waitlist/index.html (The waitlist has risen to 35+ years since this article was published).

(Follow up) 6 customers won 'free chicken sandwiches for a year' at the Popeyes opening and there were other prizes on offer - www.thescottishsun.co.uk/money/11237906/scotland-first-popeyes-free-chicken-year/

Popeyes chicken is delicious. But no, I would never queue 18 hours to eat it. Especially given that you could just wait until the next day and not queue at all. But it is Scotland, and they are obsessed with anything deep fried, so I'm not too shocked.

I'm still sour that we lost the opportunity to get Chick-fil-A restaurants in the UK. They do the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. They tried to open in the UK, but whiney SJW protestors stopped it from happening because the owners of Chick-fil-A are Christians and hold Christian views. Pathetic.

We have a Popeye's opening soon here and I don't care how good the food is, I'm not queueing that long for it!

They're offering free food to the first so many customers so I can understand the urge to queue, but it's a chicken burger that costs a few quid. You're not saving much

Only if I was stupid enough to queue

I would never queue for anything ,life’s too short to waste doing that

It's a no from me

Only If I was paid by the hour and given free meals for a year lol.

I don't have the patience to queue for more than 5 minutes for anything.

I agree, I would wait a week or more before going.

Aaaaahhhhhh NO not a chance. if I go into a shop that’s busy I’ll walk out of it never mind waiting to queue. There’s new The Range store opened in our hometown this morning and im sure there were plenty of people queuing to get into it and will be queuing at it all day and probably the next wk or 2. I don’t do queuing anywhere for anything. Life’s too short too spend time queuing

Wow, that's insane. I would never que for 18 hours for any restaurant, surely people have something better to do.

No way as a meat eater it would be a waste of time unless there was a zero Bill on exit.

Life is to short..what a waste of time and effort..could think of other ways to spend my time.

Evolution gone wrong

No I wouldn't que personally . If the ques are too big in Tesco's I go somewhere else. But every one is different. It must mean a lot to them

Nope. Il not even sure I would wait 2 hours. I get mad if I’m waiting an hour

Nope,sod that, I'm sure it would only be disappointing after all the hype anyways, it's the same with films sometimes, to much hype and no real substance.
