My first experience with a vending machine

We have had vending machines for many years. There are even a vending machines where you can buy gold!

In Canada we call them vending machines...and yes they are all over the place. :-)

Interesting. And what abot the full size vending machines. With like candy bars and whatnot? Do you have them?

Aren't some of these things great fun the first time you see them? It's like the first ride in an aeroplane or whatever.

I like those vending machines back when I was younger. But now, my beloved little kiddos are fascinated at it. It never hurts to be a kid sometimes.

Wow! That's a nice kind of machine. I never tried to use it. When I read your discussion title , I thought it was welding machine hahaha!!!

I seldom buy from vending machines as the price is usually much more expensive than I buy from the store or convenient store.

There are plenty of those machines in certain places but I rarely use any. For example at public toilets there are often vending machines to buy sanitary products, contraceptives and disposable toothbrushes, and sometimes other things such underwear or nylon tights. The items are always much more expensive than if you bought in the usual places so only for emergencies (and luckily I have never had such an emergency!) They are also often in places like sports centres, budget hotels and some workplaces selling sweets and snacks like drinks and packs of crisps - again expensive and I don't always trust them not to take your money and not return the item you want!

@allknowing Yes, I have used them before.
