Is it normal to mentally calculate a business's income?

88% Normal
10 Comments

As I walk in a store, I try to estimate how many customers walk in a day, what the average person buys, what profit is made from the sale, how much the rent and taxes cost, and divide it by how many people work there to guess how much salary each of them make.

I usually make this calculation in my head in about 20 seconds.

Is this a fun thing to think about or straight up wierd.

Is It Normal?

    Yeah you should open a business! You have to figure this out when you make a business plan. We need jobs maybe you can help fix that. You sound like you are cut out for it.

    It sounds like a terrible attempt at a "backdoor brag" and leads one to question your intelligence as a result.

      Just to clarify.

      I didn't make this post to brag about how good I am at calculating numbers. I have OCD and I just wanted to know if other people have done this before.

        People with OCD are no better at math than anyone else lol. But it does sound like a brag, especially since you must be smart enough to know that it's not likely anyone else here does the specific thing you're speaking of.
