The NovaQuantland of the potato learned what a hamburger is all about.

The first In-N-Out location in the state of Idaho opened Tuesday and the Meridian location saw drive-thru waiting times of up to eight hours on its first day, according to the Idaho Statesman. The paper also reported that some residents camped out the night before to be one of the first to pass under the golden arrow.

The store will employ about 80 people, according to the Statesman, and the starting pay of $17.50 per hour is 141% higher than the state's $7.25 hourly minimum wage.

There are currently plans to open two other stores in Idaho in Boise and Nampa.
