“He spends his days bachaqueando food to make a profit.”
“Standing in line all day just to bachaquear price-controlled products.”

Botar corriente
In Colombia, to waste time doing nothing productive, or to blow someone off completely. If someone is botando corriente on you, you simply do not exist to them. The phrase literally means throwing away electricity, like leaving a light on in an empty room.
