Here's the world's most expensive vending machine! "When you feel the need to buy gold, but don't want to drive all the way to the bank or to your broker, just use this handy dandy gold vending machine, from a business called GOLD To Go. The first one was installed earlier this year at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Of course".
Nice one Joe! I may be able to afford a small purchase if I can find a tin foil machine! Wonder what the vendor mark up is!
Oh wait what was that first one suppose to be the claw machine version of a vending machine, where its possible you may not get anything out of it. I don't think so, its bad enough that actual vending manchines can sometimes have that gamble connected to them. You know you put you money in you press your selection and the item hangs in the machine taunting you. So, you have an option put in money to try to get it out or call for help. Odd are you take the former which means paying more money, the good thing though at times two instead of one come out.
Can you imagine if the gold vending machine got hung up? I bet no one just walks away, or puts in more money for a second try. Just who would you complain to? I also wonder if that machine has a full time guard. I don't think we will be hearing of trucks smashing into the building, and dragging the vending machine off, as they do here.
Umbrellas... Look here there's vending machines for almost everything, including toilet paper... https://interestingengineering.com/49-interesting-vending-machines-world
