Vending Machines

Where Is The Vending Business Going?

We all like to get our snack on from time to time, and vending machines allow us the opportunity to do wherever we may be. It may not be the best option when it comes to eating, but modern vending business are not shy of catering to the needs of the healthy conscious eaters just like they did for decades for the careless peckish types. It wasn’t until the 1880’s that automated vendors made their first appearance stateside, when the Thomas Adams Company manufactured the Tutti-Frutti gum dispensers and placed them in a bunch of New York trains stations, to great success.

The convenience of the coin vendors makes us rather have a lunch comprised of a chocolate bar, a pack of fruit gums and a warm coke, than a delicious sandwich with fresh, organic ingredients, and it’s amazing the personal pain and suffering we will put ourselves through to achieve this.

Automated vendors are now in your cafeteria at work, lurking round every corner of the mall, waiting to dispense your daily newspaper, and even right by the front doors of major department stores; just when you think you’ve bought everything you need at the mega-mart, they remind you that you might just be a little thirsty after your shopping spree. I’ve always thought it odd that people sell seafood at roadside stands, but it’s even more peculiar to get a live crab or lobster from an automated dispenser. The lobster one in particular does bring a wee bit of fun to the vending experience given that it is presented in the form of one of those claw grab games. I'm in two minds about picking up your medication from an automated dispenser as some folks do in Wyoming. I’d hate to misspell my meds and end up with laxatives instead of my Viagra, although I admit an insulin vending machine in my neighborhood would save me 2H driving every month.

Most upgrades seen in the vendor business are put in place so that dispensers will eventually be cashless which, makers hope, will cut down on the amount of vandalism by thieves looking to get at the cash. A whole new market has open for companies ready to take in old vending machines, refurbish them and fit them with secure coin mechs and magnetic or chip card readers,  instilling new life into outdated hardware.

We may have come a long way since the days of vending machines guarded by poisonous snakes in ancient Rome, but given the advancements made over the years, we can only guess at what they will be selling inside them next.

Who do I need to contact to inquire about placing vending machines in the White House?

I would like to prepare a business plan ahead of time in case Hillary gets elected. My idea is to get permission to place condom vending machines in every room in the White House. I think with the number of rooms (over a hundred), this might be quite a proffitable venture if the Clintons make it back in the WH.

LOL, soo funny!
While you're at it you might also want to consider a dry cleaning, & put it all on one Bill ) LOL
Or, ... it's on the White House?? can't make up my mind! LOL
Good one, love.
