i'm just asking how much would someone wait?

Are you asking something about gravity's force or are you just asking people how much they weigh?
At standard gravity (acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 at sea level) 1 kilogram (~ 2.2 lbs) exerts a weight force of about 9.8 Newtons.
If someone weighs 80 pounds that means their body is exerting a force of 356 newtons (1 lb = 4.45 Newtons).
Conversely if someone is exerting 400 newtons at sea level then they weigh 89.88 lbs.
Ignoring slight gravitational anomalies, your weight would not vary much anywhere on the planet.

My weight at sea level is the same as it is at 200 meters or 600 meters.
The force of gravity on Earth doesn't get less than the 9.78 m/s^2 until you go up about 50 km.
