I don't know. I preferred having all my fingers to finding out. However, I can confirm that those vending machines that kept candy/snacks on a spiral would malfunction sometimes. If you paid attention, some selections would get you two items because they were not aligned properly in the machine.An Unsorted Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239336350528983954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223385242428944710.post-922523957762765202009-07-12T07:58:49.109-04:002009-07-12T07:58:49.109-04:00I know!

You can purchase stamps from a postal service vending machine (but if it runs out of correct change on the weekend....you have a problem), or even mail packages via automation.<br />My basic concern is, and perhaps, always will be one surrounding the lack of human involvement. Personally, I love the human interaction factor (especially when the people are pleasant). How can you ask a machine personal questions about how their families are doing, where they went on their vacation, how to get to the nearest place that carries a particualr item that is your favorite color........or just receive a simple hello and a smile?<br />And, what about the people these machines replace? What happens to them.......their children, their lives? Have we become so enthralled with the notion of "getting it now and as quickly as we can", that we don't stop to think about how it affects the job market in our communities, or its bottom line economic impact? Somehow, when one slows down enough to consider how their lifestyle would drastically change if their job position was "outsourced" to a machine....the convenience of quick and easy automation is not so exciting after all.Ugmoliciousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223385242428944710.post-80842672548852229532009-07-11T10:40:30.095-04:002009-07-11T10:40:30.095-04:00Amazing, I saw the same footage about the slippers...Amazing, I saw the same footage about the slippers @ the clubs for women with achy feet after wearing high heels. Pretty soon everything is going to be in machines. Now when the day comes when you have to stick your head in a machine and pick out your style cut, shampoo, etc., and stick your hands in to get your nails done, I'M RUNNING!!! hahahahaaaLUVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14443812633496054678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223385242428944710.post-21075057862916389352009-07-11T10:35:36.353-04:002009-07-11T10:35:36.353-04:00I'm afraid to consider what might next be avai...I'm afraid to consider what might next be available for some change. I wonder what our great grandmothers would think about all these conveniences that make our lives easier.

They have burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches etc, but ALL IN A VENDING MACHINE! Behind the vending machines is an entire kitchen. Apparently nothing costs more than 3 dollars at this place too. I really want to make a trip to NY JUST to see this!Rebel Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725477045341286481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223385242428944710.post-4618461119760448402009-07-11T08:59:41.872-04:002009-07-11T08:59:41.872-04:00I saw a news report last week where there is a ven...I saw a news report last week where there is a vending machine that dispenses slippers at the club for your tired achy feet after a night of dancing. I sure hope there's a woman somewhere getting PAID for that excellent idea.Sinfullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910348804579557872noreply@blogger.com
