I only wanted one..

[TheCenturion]

I was once playing with the condom machine in the toilet in a pub, pulling the reject coin tray waiting for my friend to come out of the loo ... got £25 and a pack on condoms. Full of win!

you didn't use them did you

Send me some, As we don't have a vending machine at work!

 

[I get around]

I remember I got like 10 double deckers when a coil got stuck on rotate, I was like, WIN!

Also ordered a 40p carton of ribena and got a £1 bottle of lucozade before.

Cherry Coke Is Ace!

Some guys at Uni used to know the button code on the vending machine to get it into a console like mod to distribute free drinks or cash - I forget which!

I remember at high school, my change never came out so I stuck my finger up the change hole and their was some tissue wedge right in it, pulled it out and about £5 came out with it.

 

[TFleming]

i've only ever had 2!

 

[Sharpsilver]

Got three yorkie bars once, and 2 cans of Fanta when I only bought 1 bar and 1 can.

Sucess!

Nice one, I hate vending machines with a passion, the idea is great and in theory so are they but they are run by idiots half the time, I am pretty certain they are broken on purpose to steal your money, labelled incorrectly, are generally a rip off and the main thing that annoys me are the ones that don't give change but charge for stuff in increments of 5p.


I salute you.

Funny how all vending machines are so unreliable. I reckon about 10% of the time I buy something from a machine it doesn't work properly. Why they can't make vending machines that actually work properly is one of life's great mysteries.

Most machines are about 10+ years old, that's the problem.

If your vending machine fails to give you lots of stuff for free, you could always try this:

 

[Tefal]

the one in uni used to always break if you ordered a single apple juice so if there were two of you first one puts money in and orders drink.

It either;

hits one that was already stuck and someone gave up on and you got two = win

gets stuck, so second person puts money in and orders it drops knocks the other free and both come out = moderate success


Although it did make buying apple juice by yourself like gambling, especially if you only had enough for one. It's either buy one get one free, buy two or get nothing for the price of one >.<

At my old work our vending machine used to have problems all the time.

My favorite in there was a boost bar, and lucky for me it used to give out 2 instead of 1 fairly often

I was at work once at the weekend when all the main buildings were closed so no beverages could be had, not even water. I went to the vending machine and all they had was Fanta. Not great, but it was liquid nourishment. Put my money in, bottle dropped... and wedged horizontally so the tray door was held shut, like Han freakin' Solo in that garbage compacter. Utter, utter, dehydration fail.

I pounded on that damn thing for ages and nothing came out.

That's what she said.

Shoulder charging our staff vending machine when it is stuck usually gives up more than you paid for. Sometimes you pray for a stuck chocolate bar so you can give it a boot and a pack of crisps, twix and mints come out making it worth a sore shoulder!
