The snack shelf for their tower.

James and Priya both work from home on the eighth floor of a twelve-storey building. Their pantry always had extras — Costco runs, case of sparkling water, late-night chip cravings. Neighbors in the elevator would joke: "Do you guys ever sell any of this?"

They listed a handful of staples: energy drinks, chips, instant noodles, coffee pods. Cart checkout for anything in stock; pickup in the mailroom between 6 and 9 p.m. They limited visibility to their building only — no driving, no delivery apps.

Priya printed the store flyer from FrenzyGo and pinned it on the bulletin board by the elevators. The QR code went into the building Facebook group. Orders trickle in on weekdays; long weekends spike when delivery fees on the big apps feel ridiculous.

They refresh listings when stock changes and pause items when they're out. The income covers streaming subscriptions, dog treats, and the occasional date night. Neither of them thinks of it as a job — more like being the convenient neighbor who finally has a proper way to get paid.
