Exploitation And Profit


Nuju Metru

253 views

Myself and two other people each pitched in a dollar to buy a $3 giant thing of s'mores Pop Tarts at lunch today. The thing had in it 6 packets of two pastries.

 

The first guy who helped to buy the stuff actually owed me money, so I got half of his share.

 

The other one didn't show up to claim his lot at all.

 

So I was left with 5 packets of delicious Pop Tarts.

 

I sold four of them, first for a dollar a pack, then a dollar a pastry, then, in a climax of rip-off-ness, $2 for one Pop Tart. That's paying 2/3 of the original price for 1/12 of the original value. (What can I say... the customers were very hungry and desperate for Pop Tarts during class.)

 

Yeah, I made a massive profit (about $5), as well as got to eat many a delicious Pop Tart, out of a simply $1 contribution.

 

Can't help but feel sorta dishonest, though.

That's the way to do it. School is full of ripping people off. =P

 

Like, seriously, people get two or three dollars more often times when they sell something [like Monster Energy Drinks, Cokes, etc.].

Agreed. On my school, my class is selling juice, food (well... cake n´stuff), and such, and we make much profit each week. It´s not our personal money, though. But awesome anyway. =J
