with supply and demand and all... IM DEMANDING CANNED BREAD!! where's the supply 🥺?
It replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.
cuz nobody likes eating out of plastic containers in the United States. these vending machines are full of extremely processed garbage taste like shit and produces a shitload of plastic garbage, waste garbage crap. I like Japan.
I will say while I deeply agree that we don't have a cool vendung machine American identity...
My mall has vending machines for cotton candy that will make shapes, a vending machine for hijabs and other covers, a vending machine for medication and beauty products, a vending machine for umbrellas and a vending machine for weed.
I'd rather just have curry and hot chocolate but hey... Its something.
We have cool ones here, too!
I spy digipet
It's part of a balanced breakfast on the go!
That looks more like a hot vending machine
I just saw a book vending machine in an elementary school this weekend....I thought that was kind of cool.
Americans would just crush themselves to death on them
Idk about food but I used to work for a company that sold fastners and tools via vending machine all the time.
I saw an orange juice machine but it had a stupid fancy touchscreen and was out of order.
I feel like there's potential in this if you avoid the temptation to go with a complicated touchscreen and instead just keep everything as mechanical as possible
