A SMUG reseller has taken aim at minimum wage workers by bragging he can make a “day's pay in two minutes” with his side hustle.
Ben has made a career out of snapping up clearance bargains and selling them on for a profit.
And in a video on TikTok, Ben explained that he'd much rather do his money-making trick than work in an office all day.
“Why go to work for 8 hours a day when you can literally walk into Boots and e in 2 minutes?” he said.
“Stop working for minimum wage, pull your finger out and watch this.”
In the video, Ben showed himself hitting his local Boots, where he headed straight over to the clearance section.
And he was in luck, as there were numerous men's electric shavers that were reduced.
Ben, known on social media as Resell Republic, then used an app to scan the barcode, to find out how much profit he could make from each one.
The first he scanned came up as a £23 profit, so he quickly snapped that up.
The next wasn't quite as good – with a £10 profit margin – while the third could bring in a whopping £24 profit.
He then headed to the checkouts to purchase the shavers, as he said thanks to the business model, all he has to do is send them off to the site and they “take care of everything else”.
“They'll deal with all the customer service, all the shipping, everything,” he said.
“So you just sit back and roll in!”
He then encouraged people to get in touch with him to learn more about the Amazon business model.
“Days' wage made in two minutes at Boots,” Ben captioned the TikTok.
But people in the comments section were divided about Ben's side hustle.
“Aren’t people who have a normal job have their finger out more than you?” one wrote.
“Like, what’s with the hostility?
“If anything, you need to pull yours out!”
“Cry me a river,” Ben sarcastically replied.
“£10 profit, what a waste of time,” another laughed.
“Then I could take months to sell one. Is it really worth it?” a third wondered.
As others insisted there are more than a few benefits to having the security of an actual job.
“Because we get a pension and holiday pay,” one wrote.
“Got a job for now – and got bills to pay,” another insisted.
