# Pull the next record from a work queue

Claims the oldest unclaimed deal in one queue FOR THE CALLER and answers it, so two people working the same queue never take the same deal. The `queue` segment names a stage band of the deals board's own status vocabulary, and an unknown one is refused with the list of bands that exist. `role` is optional and defaults to `opener`; unclaimed means that role's person cell is empty. An empty queue is a 404 — 'nothing waiting' is the answer, not a failure. Deals page only.

Access class: `def:read`.
