        Unless he’s now managing that person. Then it’s industry! Don’t mind us, we are just out here creating jobs.

        If he were smart, he would hire a full-time interviewee to ensure there’s always someone interviewing and buying drinks at a steady, predictable rate. Easiest money you’ll ever make.

      I guess if he’s getting paid to do the interviews then it’s technically passive… wait no, then the whole interviewer thing would just count as advertising for his vending machine business

      It’d be better if they had multiple rooms, multiple vending machines and multiple interviewers. Pay the interviewers to do the work and take the passive income.

      But also this is horrible noone should do this.

      I don’t know how people take shitposts seriously. Do we have way too many literal thinkers on Lemmy?

          Unless you have an older machine, probably the Coke guy.

          Coke wants to control what drinks are in the machine and what percentage of the take Coke gets, so they refill the machines.

          We used to have an older machine on an old contract, and since we didn’t really care about the income from it we let Coke swap it for a new one they’d service.

          About 2 months later, they said we weren’t selling enough drinks and took the new machine away.

        I used to run an auto service center with a Coke machine in the waiting room. Once a month I would get a commission check in the mail from Coca-Cola for usually about $50 or $60. We averaged about 40 cars a day through that place so the machine got a lot of business…

    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.

    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.

    Worked in vending for years. You ain’t gonna profit off one machine in most cases. Unless you are in a prime location, buying 10 different cases of chips and then trying to sell the 750 or so bags before they expire requires several machines.
