>High School was across the street from a large grocery chain
>Didn't use my locker for shit, always liked the idea of owning a business
>Invest $20 in 4 12-packs of soda and some candy/gum
>This was also the same year they decided to get rid of these items in the vending machines for health reasons
>$1.00 can of soda (Demand was high enough to justify the price)
>1.50 for a candy bar (Demand for these wasn't as high, but...)
>$2.00 candy bar and soda deal (Pretty popular)

I had all my classes in the same building as my locker, so I would just stay there between class and sell shit to people.

>School cop's office is right across the hallway
>Bribed with free food

Eventually the principle found out and forced me to close shop, but not before I had pulled about $400 in revenue.

>Decide to exploit a new market
>Tired, rushed students that didn't eat
>Bought a dozen doughnuts and brought them to my first class, sold the full dozen before class started
>Ohfuckyes
>$0.50 cents per donut, $2.00 profit per dozen
>Eventually get to about 5 dozen every morning before the principle shuts me down again and threatens expulsion if I do it again

I just wanted to fill a market gap.
