So about $10 a drink minimum? (assuming $300/day gross income)

If they can find 30 people per day to pay those prices, they need to quit their job and go full time into vending machine sales. They have a gift

putting the "ass" in passive!

Everyone. Calm down... This is a joke account.

Here another one of his posts.

That's not passive... 60 interviews a day?

Put out a bowl of extra salty peanuts and crank up the heat. Open a small bar in the corner serving margaritas, mojitos, pina coladas, etc... Sit back and watch the passive income roll in.

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.

That’s not passive income. That’s a lot of work.

Warning⛔: comment section filled with haters trying to keep a player down 😤

This is TOTALY real and in no way, designed to infuriate people dumb enough to believe it.

For the record:

“A soda vending machine's revenue varies significantly based on location and product pricing, but a rough estimate for average daily revenue is $5. Monthly, this could range from $150 to $1,500, with high-traffic locations potentially earning up to $100 per day. However, profit margins depend on product costs and operating expenses.”

And that’s if he owns it outright.

That's not "Passive" income, if you have to attract 50-60 people per day, pretend to interview them, while subliminally encouraging them to use the vending machine. That's called a full-time job, and probably illegal, too.

And that isn't $300/day profit, he has to pay for those items in his machine. The profit is probably no more than 50%, so $150/day. For an 8 hour day, that's $18.75 an hour. That's a lot of work for not that much money. It certainly isn't "Passive."

That’s active income.

Keep chasing it, buddy.

I can't tell if this is satire or linkedin lunatics, and that's the joy of lemmy shitpost.

sure... 9-8 min per job interview including welcoming the candidate, smalltalk, talking about the bullshit role you have to offer, listening to the candidates speech about why they are the best match for the bullshit role, asking critical questions about hypothetical job situations, pressing the candidate to buy a pyramid-scheme soda, saying goodbyes and escorting the candidate out.

sure that sounds realistic

The math doesn't math.

Even assuming the drinks cost $3, even if all 60 bought one, that's $180, not 2 or 3 hunnid.

And that's not counting the work to do the interviews, as mentioned by others, or counting the work to do inventory and stick the machine, it even the cost of the drinks themselves.

Bro really doin all this work for what accounts to maybe $30 profit on a good day. Which would be ok for a tiny amount of work, but even if he does this at his regular job, is just a decent chunk extra, not a ton.

50 interviews a DAY??

$37.50 an hour to talk to a minimum of 6 strangers that want something from me and think I can deliver it for them?

I’d rather be an urban outdoorsman.
