One of my roommates just bought 2 cigarettes off me for a dollar. This happens constantly. They never have their **** in order. 2 or 3 of em constantly trying to buy cigs off me. Always borderline broke and hustlin.

What's sweet is.. I found out at the gas station down by where I work, which is in the country a good 45 mins outside town, they have a brand that sells for $3 a pack and isn't at all noticeably bad. I don't understand it.

But I do understand that I'm growing increasingly tempted to quit smoking and just sell loosies for extra cash.

Is 50¢ the going rate for a loosey, or is he low balling you?

That's the going rate, lol

A normal pack costs 5 dollars+ easily. At $5 per pack that would be 25 cents a cig at cost. 50 cents is double that so it's seen as the natural rate for a cig. If you note that I can buy a pack for 3 dollars, I can still the cigs off for around 7 dollars profit.

Not exactly a get rich scheme but also never hurts to have people handing you money at home for no effort or risk whatsoever.

Buying loose cigs is something from military school when we were high school students in uniform who couldn't just walk into a gas station and buy a pack. Adults doing this is goofy and sad.

Welcome to the hood. Most of what we do is goofy and sad.

They cost ten buck here cause of all the taxes, so you would hardly break even.

They're called Newport, not Support. Not paying anything is sad.

Sounds like good times.

franchise consultant comes by the store tomorrow so i made sure the store was in perfect condition. everything was clean. mopped. swept. vacuum'd. he's always impressed with how i'm running the store but it's always nerve-racking knowing he's going to come in. so i like to make sure everything is ready for the morning.

Yesterday, I saw this young Asian chick stealing produce from a delivery that hadn’t been put away yet. She was just loading up her bag like she was at Walmart. She saw me looking at her and looked scared and I just smiled and winked and she went back at it lol

Lol @ stealing from a dollar store

Also lol @ stealing produce

The funny thing is, if you get caught the charge is gonna be the same as if you went for something more expensive

Up to a certain threshold, of course. If you steal enough the charge changes. But let's say you're stealing food. Stealing a candy bar is basically going to be the same charge as stealing a 20 dollar steak.
