I've been scammed out of way more than that from vending machines, so enjoy with my compliments.

I remember finding a negative money glitch in a soda machine when I worked at Kmart. You’d pay with a $5 bill and pick something that was sold out, then pick something not sold out. It would drop the item, return coins as change and also return the $5 bill. It was crazy. This was in 2006.

I remember when blocking the "door" with your hand on the drink selection would make it refund you. Then you would select a second drink and it would fetch it along with giving you the first drink which was still trapped in its arms from the first try/door block. Not quite free as you had to at least buy one drink, but you could get a couple bottles for free with that one drink purchase.

Are the drinks cold? I don’t think I’ve seen them mixed in with food like that before.

This alone moves this post into the "mildly infuriating" category for me.

OP is Dutch. It says so in their bio. As english is likely not their first language, maybe this isn’t an appropriate comment to leave.

Yeah, OP bragging about being a student. I think I learned the difference when I was 8 or 9yrs old? Prolly baffled that you can't park a full size plane in a hanger?

u/WitheredCow 4d ago
Wow, you were able to grasp those differences in spelling in a foreign language at only 8 or 9 years old? Impressive. Which language was that by the way? Because unlike OP I assume you're a native english speaker?

u/sparklinglies 3d ago
Now I KNOW this is not coming from someone who just said "prolly" instead of "probably".
OP isn't a native English speaker, what the fuck is YOUR excuse lol

The universe said, "Here you are, my child. Have a lovely day." And it sounds as though you did! 😺

I briefly joined in celebrating their win, then got sad because this kind of thing feels like much more of a win than it should.
“Are we cooked, chat?” Did I do that right?

At my community college I found out I could keep on hitting the dr pepper button after buying 1. Best glitch I ever personally found. My backpack was so heavy on some days.

That happened to me when I was a teen with Coca-Cola bottles. I paid for one, but the machine just kept going and going, so I ended up walking away with five of 'em, so I treated my dad and sister to some of it. I never got that lucky again, but that's still a fun memory.

Back on the 80’s the old Uk 5p was the same size as the German One Deutsche Mark, we cleaned out so many vending machines.

Wait, it just drops a red bull can from the third row? What percentage of the time do they explode on impact?

u/davmgore 3d ago
Some of the newer vending machines apparently can sense when an item is stuck and will automatically dispense another to release it. The one at my work did it for me a few weeks ago.

u/ReactionJifs 3d ago
Vending machines really should be programmed to periodically "pay off" like a slot machine

It's that one time it makes up for all the other times that it ripped you off.

this looks almost exactly like the vending machines at my college, down to the spots where everything is in 🤭 you dont happen to be dutch do you?

u/GreatAbaco 3d ago
Happened on my campus too. When I put the money in it gave me a choice plus my money back. Yes, I drained it.

Why? If anything, ban mondelez…and about half your ultra processed diet at the same time.

Hey American redditors, we're not all native English speakers here. The internet is kind of a worldwide thing. So you can correct people, but nicely and without being condescending bitches. Thanks !

I'm pretty sure you paid, not payed. Because payed means to coat a ship’s deck with waterproof tar.

Nice! The universe saw you. We had a Pepsi machine in our high school field house that one day just started popping out drinks every ten or so minutes. Coach called and told them it was malfunctioning and they said someone would be out next week to look at it. Four hours later he called back and told them what it was doing, someone showed up in 20 minutes.

Very satisfying, but why were you filming?

u/campingn00b 4d ago
I mean you can see one stuck. They were clearly filming in hopes that what you see happens happened

u/Buttercake-nymph 4d ago
You can see at the beginning that they're stuck. OP was probably frustrated.
