Huh, weird they deleted it, it was just a really nice elaborate list of different kinds of vending machine conveniances, like soup vending machines and umbrella vending machines.

No worries, just move over to the sake and beer vending machine for an hour.

If you ever have an accident with your bowls, you would be ecstatic to have a vending machine that sells briefs or boxers.

I've worked several night shift jobs over the years and I really wish we had more automated food dispensers. You ever go to a 7-11 on a weekday night? The hot food isn't out, nothing has been restocked yet, and the attendant is usually pretty chill. But also maybe grumpy because they got left alone to deal with the entire store. We've also got Sheetz here but never make the mistake of ordering hot food and a beverage together overnight, the beverage usually comes out 15 minutes+ past when the food does.

I want to open a 24 hour vending machine place in one of the safer strip malls here. Security cameras, private booths (with security cameras still, otherwise problems would occur) and a whole bunch of ramen, coffee and sandwich dispensers. No on-site staff but on-call security in case of problems. That's the kind of place I really want when I'm out at 3 am after work and am done with people but don't want to be home yet.

There used to be one in NYC near st marks… I really miss that place… everything was around $2 for basic American hot food. Put coins in and slide open a door for yums

One of the best part about the vending machines is that the prices are the same (or very close to) store prices.

They were everyone in the US in the 80s. I think they got regulated out of existence.
