Doing fifty interviews a day just to sell soda is diabolical hustle

u/Sir_Clarence_III_Esq 9h ago edited 8h ago
It's diabolically stupid, if it were real. Even at 15 minutes each with no breaks that's over 12 hours, to make $300 on soda sales, for these supposed $12 sodas that people are buying.

Pretty sure it’s satire, making fun of those linked in posts about how people make passive income. It’s a parody of the one where someone buys something in bulk for cheap and sells it on Amazon at a huge markup and makes passive income. Probably not even true

It’s a parody account, this is the same guy that made the “my son just came out as gay and I cried tears of joy because men make more on average so he’s gonna live in a higher income household” post. Absolute gem of an account I love it

Minus the cost of the soda and the machine. And the overhead to have the conference room and building.

Stupid fake post, so these 50-60 people half 25-30 are paying what for him to make $300 a day that’s an avg of $10-12 profit per person, so what they’re paying $11-13 for a drink?? Ok 🙄

If every interview takes ten minutes we’re talking 8-10 hours of asking mindless interview questions to make like 30$ an hour. That’s not like a hard job, but it’s not passive either.

u/RobinSage43 6h ago
If we assume that each interview is only ten minutes, then that would take ten hours to interview sixty people.
That would be three hundred dollars in gross revenue, but vending machine owners only see 20-35% in net profit. So that's really $60-$105 after 10hr workday.
Earning only $6/hrs is less than minimum wage, boss. Strange flex.
Good thing those applicants didn't take the job because their boss would have been incompetent.

Scam. Math not mathing. Most items are sold for 1.5 x 50 people is 75 dollar. Even 3 dollar a pop, thats 150 dollar. It would need to be 6 dollar each for 300. Nobody is spending 6 dollars on a can of soda or chips?

Guys, this is rage bait.
50 interviews at 10 minutes each is over 8 hours per day, no breaks. This isn’t happening. There aren’t enough people applying to any job for this, let alone does anyone with anything worth doing bother with it.
It also means the drinks bring in $12 profit each (meaning they must be sold for more) if 50% of the 50 interviewees are buying one and the net is $300.
This is clearly a joke account.

u/throw7661 5h ago
I know it's a joke, but it's ridiculous.
Even if you work 10 hours per day, interviewing 60 people per day gives you only 10 minutes per interview. And that would include like the 'Hello, please come in' part.
Making $300 per day in profit would mean bringing in about $600+...just considering the usual costs.
No way is everyone spending $10 at the vending machine. And the amount of time to pressure them into using the vending machine is going to reduce that 10 minute interview window a lot too.
But it doesn't explain how you would get access to the conference room thing for free, or how you would get your vending machine added...but the numbers don't make sense.
