Food vending machines

[claws]

Are there any in your town?



We have a tiny 24/7 vending machine place since last year Christmas. They offer canned meals, sandwiches, a small selection of veggies and fruit, bread, candy, cakes, soft drinks, alcohol, fresh eggs, noodles, jarred sauces and what not.

They also have overly expensive American and Asian snacks and drinks. You pay with a card.

The first few weeks after opening, local teens and guys on welfare would use it as an all night hang out, because of the alcohol I assume. That was, until the police drove by on a regular basis, telling them to leave.

I like the idea, but have no personal use for it. Since all stores are closed on Sundays here, this could be useful for some. I do all my weekend grocery shopping on Saturdays. Whatever they offer, I can get cheaper at the supermarket.

When I worked at Honne Bear canning, they had vending machines. Candy (which I rarely ate- except Snickers), chips- which I rarely ate- except Okee Dokee cheese popcorn, sandwiches which you had to micro wave- garbage, and hot little canned tins of food. I ate the chili sometimes. Mostly I ate the tacos a mexican lady would sell out the back of her pickup or just bring a peanut butter on baloney and from home (It's good! Really!), and an apple or any of the fruit we would be canning at the moment (apples, cherries, blueberries, plums).
Oh- they had a pop machine and a coffee machine too. I RARELY drink pop, but drank coffee in the winter.
I worked there from 1979 to 1983, and 1986 to 2014.
I'm hooked on hot peppers and hot sauce since. Flatbread too.
