Today, I went to pick up my paycheck at the convenience store I work at. While there, two frat boys came in and bought seventeen 30 packs of beer. That comes to about $300. They spent more at the store in one day than I get paid in two weeks. FML

Its really easy to make money if you're throwing a party. Watch this: $300 for 510 beers = $0.588 per beer. Average person at a party drinks about 5 beers or so, but for conservative estimates' sake, call it 6. That's $3.52 worth of beer per person at the party, which you can charge $5 at the door to get in. $5 - $3.52 = $1.48 profit per person, multiplied by 85 people at the party (510 beers / 6 beers per person), gives you a net income for the night of $125.80, and said party can be held 3 nights a week (Thursday - Saturday), giving you a weekly income of $377.40, which is higher than you make. Go to college, learn math, make friends, and you too can figure out how to make more than $300 per week.

Bro they were having a party or stocking up. I doubt that the money to buy that beer came from two dudes. If you get upset by the fact that people spend money to have a party, man I dunno what to say.

Sounds like you should be grateful there is a minimum wage.

Oh OP Don't whine, at least you are working and receiving a paycheck at all. If you're going to whine about your hours, then A) ask for more or B) get another job.

That's a lot of beer. There's probably no party and the guys just want to get super-duper-about-to-explode wasted.

I'm sure more than just those 2 guys pitched in or will pitch in later at the party.

Seventeen, thirty packs of beer for $300? That comes out to about 58 cents per beer... where could I find this store and is the beer like homemade or something?

Seventeen thirty packs for $300? That's about $18 each. There are a lot of beers for that price, at least in Maryland. They're just not particularly high quality.

Hey, not true, there are about 100 local brewerys within about 30 miles of my house, I wont argue that some american beer isnt shit, but if you spend a couple dollars more the majority is really good. Not that I would know, im not old enough to drink.....

probably throwing a party. The frats make a lot more at the door than they spend for charging to get in

maybe a bunch of people put money towards the beer?

Sure, but it's either the frat's money, or a bunch of people's money pooled together. I doubt the two of them would have been nice enough to fund an entire party's worth of beer themselves. (Though if they're buying that much, why didn't they just get a keg?)

Maybe they're getting a couple different kinds of beer.
