WWAW a lil side hustle?

[Prince Bvstin]

I don't do this but some sneaky guy have been putting their own smart bar codes over parking meters and table menus directing people to their own pay platforms and doing the dirty on rubes.

Aside from being literally the easiest scam ever does anyone else pull any good tricks back in the day?

In school me and my buddy would set the fire alarm off during lunch, they'd abandon the cafeteria food and we'd steal everything. We progressed to going through lockers and bags during gym for free shit and then started running our own store reselling shit we stole from supermarkets. By the time I graduated had a nice business printing and selling CDs. Making legit money seems so boring by comparison.

How does he not get caught doing that? Wouldn’t it be easy for them to see where the money goes?

Sometimes when i’m at self checkout at the grocery store i ‘forget’ to scan an item.

You sound like you’re 50. Good luck not being counted in a school fire drill any time after 1980.

He's Romanian so some Rom gypsy tricks I'd imagine, I think its more about phishing the card details. I don't know him though, only rumours.

They've started setting the store clerk required alarm off when you scan cheap shit like potatoes in our local store. I'm a big fan of saying everything is a potato tbh but best to always keep a decoy spud at the ready.

But they never told me it would wear out the laser faster. R.I.P. my Dreamcast.

Right after high school my brother and I had a delivery company, kinda like Uber eats before Uber eats. We would be open from 9am-10pm (last call was 9:45pm) and restaurants would call me when they got delivery orders instead of having to pay their own driver for a full day to hang around. I’d “dispatch” one of my delivery drivers that I was paying 5 bucks an hour to pick it up and deliver it. It was mostly my friends from high school or sloppy old guys on disability or SSI. The restaurants would pay me weekly. If they were one of my busier places they just got a flat rate. Like $500 a week or whatever. A place that didn’t get many delivery orders I’d charge a percentage. It stopped being a “side hustle” eventually and was just too much constant chaos and stress for me. Every single night was so fucking chaotic once like 5:30-6pm hit and we were always short man power. Depending on teenagers and drug addicts to show up at work every day isn’t really an ideal business model (and I didn’t want to pay people more than the $5 to get actual normal humans) but even so, I did it nearly 5 years and at the height of its craziness I had something like 15-20 restaurants and like 8-10 drivers on per night. It operated off just a shitty boost mobile phone that was like $25 dollars a month or something, so basically no overhead at all. It was all cash so no taxes and liability really either. I don’t think most of the restaurants even knew my last name.

A friend of mine took it over when I got a real career. He actually (finally) just got out of it a couple months ago when he realized he was having a kid and needed a real career/pension/insurance etc. I have no idea if anyone picked up after him and his partner moved on.

I hate the term "side hustle." Such a nigger-y word.

Aww yeah you gotchoself wunna dem shopify side hustles? You out hea livin yo best life, Shaniqua!

Except with niggers their side hustle is usually more lawful than their primary income (not counting welfare).

I have a slide hustle. I hide under slides in a ghillie suit and when kids get to the bottom I grab them and shake them upside down until the stuff falls out of their pockets. Kids don't have a lot of money but I do get some nice athsma inhalers, epi pens and frogs.

I also sold bootleg CDs in 3rd or 4th grade, can’t remember which it was. My brother showed me how to do it. I think I sold them for 5 bucks a piece and like 2 for 8 or something like that, can’t remember for sure. I remember selling a lot of The Blueprint album by Jay Z to my urban classmates because it came out right as school started. I even made a dumb logo I’d be able to draw quickly on each blank CD after I burned them like I was an actual record label haha

Cookies were on me at the cafeteria lunch table. I was an enterprising young fella.

I smuggle heroin to Germany and Belgium, nobody suspects a cripple in a wheelchair.
