So about $10 a drink minimum? (if we're 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

If you look closer, it's also off-brand drinks, meaning, he absolutely owns the machine, operates it, and restocks.
However, I do wonder the electric costs.
Looks like Monster Energy drinks to me.

Everyone. Calm down... This is a joke account.
Here another one of his posts.
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

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
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.
Add complimentary saltines in the waiting room, and they might increase profit margins slightly

Listen up! AI's gonna be a game changer. If you don't master passive prompting kids your vending machines good bye. Buy my book, "Passive Prompting"!

If they never hire anyone, then they are absolutely shit at their job.
If you hire someone you'll be put of work so...

Unless he’s now managing that person. Then it’s industry! Don’t mind us, we are just out here creating jobs.
If you create one more goddamn job I'm flipping this table

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.

There's nothing more Lemmy than someone taking an obvious joke seriously.
Just tells you how shitty life is to some people.

It's not really passive income, though. You have to get people in there and interview them. Even if you just spend 10 minutes per applicant, that's already 600 minutes, or 10 hours. So yes, this is a decent hourly wage, at least until word gets around about what you're doing, which it will, because what kind of job interview is done in 10 minutes? Not one where you actually have a chance.
And yes, I do realize this post is most likely a joke. Still fun to reply to, though.

Or just become a bartender.

Guess who owns a key for the machine?!
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.

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.

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.
