I did omit the part to where I would come with my own tools to pry open the back if in the event the cabinet backing was locked. Or that credits on machines were sold to other customers at a discount...but I digress

Hustle #2 was in middle school:
Would goto Pace (like Cosco/BJ's) and buy bulk boxes of lemon heads, Boston baked beans, and Now and Laters and sell out of my locker at breaks for $0.50each. I think the cost per box was like $0.15ea or so at bulk. This lasted for awhile until a teacher caught wind of my "business" and shut me down. Would be sold out by lunch time and have a pocket full of quarters (for legit arcade game play)
