Memo to a vending company

When the majority of your offerings are 85 and 95 cents, you are doing yourself and your customers a substantial disservice by sucking every last coin out of the machine twice a week and leaving everyone to deal with the dreaded PLEASE USE EXACT CHANGE signal as best they can.

In other words: we hope for change. Get with it already.

    You do realize, don’t you, that they’ll just bump all the prices to $1.

    Which, they wereobviously hoping they’d get the benefit of that without formally doing it…

    At $1, it becomes cost-effective to bring the stuff from home.

    Not that everyone has made this particular calculation, of course.

    I can’t believe you’re pulling for change you can believe in :)

    It’s the only kind I do believe in.
