      You calm down, this person’s tapped a market of people willing to pay $10+ per drink from a vending machine! I wanna know their secret, cause I’m switching careers if I can pull ~$78k annually from a single machine

        The secret is to make awful doughnuts with da bomb spiked filling and offer them a compliment doughnut when they arrive. Water is $3, soda is $4, and milk/soy milk is $5.

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

        I think it’s a testament to on the nose satire and hitting at the heart of people’s anxieties about work.

          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…
