These are also chilled so why not if someone wants some Coca Cola and cottage cheese.

Sure but you gotta rotate these products and take out the expired ones, in a grocery store that's fine since you're always checking it but a vending machine that might get restocked only a few times a month???

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What makes you think they get restocked that rarely? We had cooled vending machines at work that were restocked every 2-3 days. They didn't have cottage cheese, but they did have sandwiches. Which usually have shorter eypiration than factory packed cottage cheese.

Really? Well I stand corrected then, I've never seen a cooled vending machine before and I just assumed otherwise

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

I've actually not seen one that wasn't cooled in my country. All that have drinks are cooled even if they have candies inside. I mean, warm fizzy drinks like Coca Cola are pretty yuck so they are cooled automatically because of that.

As if cottage cheese wasn’t already nauseating enough

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It does appear to be refrigerated, but still...

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was thinking the same thing, that this is likely a refrigerated machine.

They usually have these at rest stops on highways in America, pretty convenient for road trips and such and I trust the state to actually keep them properly stocked.

It's mainly for the truckers that have to sleep there

Yeah I passed food safety class, why do you ask?

I bought a granola bar that ants had burrowed through the packaging into the food before.
