It's actually really simple, you just shoplift and later return the items for cash.

Yeah but how many times can you do that before you run out of Walmarts near you that you aren't banned from?

I guess I should have expected that a thread about doing unappealing poo poo for money when you're down on your luck and looking at an empty plate would draw every "temporarily embarassed millionaire" poster out of the woodwork to poo poo on it

What are you on about, honestly? I put it to you that your frustrations stem, in significant part, from your complete inability to assess other peoples thoughts and motivations. Really...

Like in anything you need to invest and put a modicum of effort. First step, robbing a theater or movie studio for make up and costumes or if neither is available, your local Halloween supplies store.

I once returned 2 not-stolen items like a week apart. First time was cool, 2nd time they treated me like I was a loving thief and wanted to make a copy of my drivers license even though I had receipts. Seems like they have a system that red flags you if you do multiple returns within a short period. Just saying.

No retailer is more deserving of theft than Walmart, but I'm not actually endorsing anything illegal itt because getting caught will probably permafuck your life

If you do cryptocurrency I hope you get eaten by a cryptid.

I'm talking about all these trolls who (pretend to?) think we live in a meritocracy and if you're poor then you just haven't been bootstrapping hard enough, even though they probably aren't rich either

If you have a modicum of musical ability and a musical instrument that doesn’t require a sound system or electricity, you can set up on a busy sidewalk and make a pretty decent amount of money. It’s not a substitute for a job but if you’re hungry you can keep your stomach full, and if you don’t have the gear you might be able to make enough to buy a sandwich by rhythmically banging on a bucket for an hour. People will donate to buskers no matter how skilled they are, but genuine talent can bring in some big bills, especially if you can play the hits.

Okay... I mean, maybe get a roommate? Or like, find an apartment that's below the average rent in a city. You make it sound like it's literally impossible to live anywhere on a minimum wage which is obviously not true. You don't have to be like, pro-minimum wage to acknowledge there are definitely people who live in apartments on minimum wage lol

It's not impossible, but it is an extreme minority of renters who can do that. Hence, the entire gig economy.

It's actually irrelevant to the discussion at hand because you are going to make even less money with more overhead trying to sell gold or whatever than if you worked a min wage job.

also in all seriousness its insane that the OP includes 'selling eggs' as an option because its actually quite difficult (and can be dangerous) to sell eggs - and there are strict screening processes which include things like 'employment history' and 'mental health history' and is a many months long process which seems far more intensive and challenging then... getting a minimum wage job.

I knew a guy in SF that busked for a living and he managed to afford an SRO and a rather brisk cocaine habit. Doing something right!

Selling lemonade at a lemonade stand - that's a probation. But selling body parts? Now that's comedy.

I figured they were talking about a scheme selling farm eggs like a rambunctious Mark Twain character

"get a minimum wage job at a restaurant" = trolling

"subject your body to a dangerous procedure for which most CSPAM posters won't be qualified" = serious suggestion that we shouldn't make fun of because gee whiz the OP is trying to help

we're very close to "why not try sex work, there's a fetish out there for everyone!" or "lurk in an alleyway outside morgan stanley and mug passing bankers and use that money to buy a sweet gaming rig to farm gold"

Here's a tip: rent a cheap small office and start a sleep study company, then just live there. No one will wonder why the owner is always there overnight! Save loads on rent!
