During the "May Day" holiday, at 9: 30 in the morning, there is still half an hour before raffles city opens the door, and consumers waiting to buy "Hi Tea" at the gate of the shopping mall have already queued up. As a new "network celebrity" in Shanghai, the rolling stream of people has become a "prelude" to the opening of Happy Tea every day. Even if you come early, it will take about 2 to 5 hours to queue up for a cup of "hi tea". Shanghai white-collar Gu did not join the "long queue". She opened the mobile APP and placed an order for "Universal Queue". At about 0/4 o'clock that day/kloc-after shopping, she took two cups of "Happy Tea" and a bag of "Master Bao" snacks from the "Little Runner" and enjoyed afternoon tea with her friends in Shanghai.

This is the so-called queuing economy. In some economically developed areas, people are busy with their work. At this time, if they want to eat something delicious or do something, they need someone to help them line up. This demand is directly proportional to the city's economy. The more developed the city, the more this demand will naturally be. Especially in Shanghai and Beijing, queuing economy has become a social occupation. So how to look at this problem from the perspective of economics?

From the perspective of economics, the emergence of any profession has its inherent needs, and so does the queuing economy. This profession was born in the environment of the accelerated pace of urban life, and it is an economic model based on the needs of urban people. With the sustainable development of China's economy in the future, this phenomenon will naturally increase.

From another perspective, queuing economy shows that China people's economic abacus is getting better and better, people who go to work need to live efficiently and conveniently, and people who queue up need to make money. The two need each other, which obviously marks the birth of a cause, or the basis of an economic model. Therefore, Shanghai's queuing economy is not a gimmick, but the needs of urban people!

The birth of queuing economy caters to people's economic conditions and lifestyles in modern society. In the past, people's economic living standards were low and they could only meet the most basic living conditions. However, as people's demands for enjoying life are getting higher and higher, they all seek the best service in the most convenient way. The economy of running errands and queuing meets this demand.

However, this queuing economy is not a very stable service source. For a consumer, the frequency and probability of needing this kind of service in a day are not great, so based on this unstable service demand, this economic model of queuing economy may really not go far. Perhaps after a short-term hot economy has passed, the queuing economy will also ebb. For example, the network celebrity economy is an economy that heats up quickly and disappears quickly. Relying on this characteristic economic model, queuing economy is difficult to reach a new height. Therefore, queuing economy is the requirement of trend development, but it may also be submerged by the trend.
