"It’s an investment," Leo whispered, running a hand over the heavy cardboard packaging. "Think about it. We put it in the hallway by the living room. We stock it with the bulk snacks we already buy here. We charge ourselves a slight premium. It's forced savings, Kev. A passive income ecosystem."

"You're really doing this?" his roommate, Kevin, asked, looking up from his phone. "We came here for garbage bags."

The fluorescent hum of Costco at 9:00 PM was Leo’s version of peace. While other shoppers grabbed bulk paper towels and rotisserie chickens, Leo stood in the back of the store, staring at a giant box strapped to a wooden pallet. It was a commercial-grade glass-front vending machine.

He set the prices. Energy drinks: $2.50. Chips: $1.00. Ramen: $3.00. He stepped back, admiring his creation. It was beautiful.

"I hate you," Kevin muttered, taking a sip. "But pointing my phone at that tap-to-pay sensor was way easier than walking to the gas station."

"I rented a heavy-duty appliance dolly," Leo said, pulling a strap from his pocket with a grin. "And I bought you a 40-pack of your favorite protein bars. They are currently locked inside the warehouse. To get them, we just have to get this baby home."
