The Herald reports on this amazing thing. One wonders when Forest Hills will get something like that.

“I wanted to design something that addressed the problem of having to wait in line or having too much selection or paying too much for something,” said founder Gina Moro.

I understand the 'waiting in line' part, but is having too much selection really a problem for people?

You're welcome to move to the Third World - I'm sure no one will stop you at the border.

You can probably find underwear at a market stall or street vendor at all hours in many third world locations.

This is old news, the Metro reported on this "amazing thing" months ago.

If a story breaks in the Metro and no one reads it, is it still news?
