Am I confused on why people are overcomplicating the math and adding assumptions to a clear given.
60 applications a day.
Half of them (30) buy something.
Makes 300 per day.
They must make $10 per vending customer.
We can safely ignore operating costs and sementics to conclude this is massive ragebait.
Agree with the ragebait, but (theoretically) they might interview more than one person at a time. He talks about 50-60 interviews a day, so with that seat layout, we have a max of 8*60=480 interviewees (assuming the interviewer is also sitting). That would be 240 drinks per day.
But it's going to be quite busy. Let's say he works 12 hours = 5 interviews/hour = 12 minutes per interview = 1.5 minutes per interviewee. That is not accounting for the time everyone needs to settle in and sit down/get up and out again; the time for him to casually get people to use their very limited time to buy a drink instead of being interviewed somehow (?) Also not accounting for the work involved in inviting and scheduling people, refilling the machine, costs of drinks, office space etc. And the soul draining work of funneling 480 people per day through a stupid fake interview, repeat the same thing every 12 minutes, just to get them to buy a drink instead of doing something useful.
What a nightmare. In this scenario, he is really the person to feel bad for. Imagine a life like that ๐
And apart from that: The more logical setup would be to turn off the air condition in the waiting area and put the vending machine there.
