Please Be a Real App
I’ve watched it three times, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out if this is a legitimate app or not.
The concept is that if you need something at the store, but are too lazy to go get it yourself, you can send out a message to everyone nearby saying you need a “runner” who will go pick it up for you. They bring you a receipt and you pay them however much you offered for them to go get your shit.
The ad is ridiculous, but honestly, in somewhere like NYC I can see tons of rich douchey people actually doing this. Someone wake me up when this catches on so I can start my new career as a Mirror’s Edge-like runner.

This is a real app. I downloaded it but it doesn’t seem like anyone within 50 miles of me is using it.
