with supply and demand and all… IM DEMANDING CANNED BREAD!! where’s the supply 🥺?
It replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.
I don’t trust vending machines anymore. I barely used them ever but over the years I got moldy food a couple times and a bunch of times the thing gets stuck and I end up not getting what I paid for. fool me once, shame on, shame on me… fool me, can’t get fooled again
I just realized that in something like 200 years, no one is really going to understand the difference between George Bush and George W Bush. Like, they’ll know they were two different people, but mis-attributing something that one Bush said to the other Bush will be seen as an easy mistake to make (much like how nowadays, John Adams and John Quincy Adams are seen as two different people but are not really that different in the average person’s eyes).
Like, there might be memes of 41 saying “…fool me -can’t get fooled again. Heheh” and no one will realize what’s wrong with the picture.
I think it’s cute you think that’ll take 200 years 😝
I will say while I deeply agree that we don’t have a cool vendung machine American identity…
My mall has vending machines for cotton candy that will make shapes, a vending machine for hijabs and other covers, a vending machine for medication and beauty products, a vending machine for umbrellas and a vending machine for weed.
I’d rather just have curry and hot chocolate but hey… Its something.
Food without a human guarded? Free meal?
That looks more like a hot vending machine
Costs
Is this cool because it has Japan signs? Has it any more features than US machines? Or US has no vending machines at all?
There are vending machines but they generally don’t serve hot food or nearly the same amount of variety as Japanese machines do. Usually only soft drinks and shelf-stable snacks like candy bars, chips, cookies or crackers.
The US could have more hot drink vending machines, but I think the sort of clientele that wants a hot coffee wants it to be highly customized like the shit you get at Star Bucks. Highly customized, burnt coffee.
This looks like it’s serving hot food. US vending machines only have cold or room temp packaged stuff.
OK, hot food seems a fine reason to be excited
This vending machine is serving good that comes out already heated/ at the very least warmed. It’s not just bags of chips
IIt replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.
And now the workers cannot afford bread.
Next move?
Idk about food but I used to work for a company that sold fastners and tools via vending machine all the time.
I saw an orange juice machine but it had a stupid fancy touchscreen and was out of order.
I feel like there’s potential in this if you avoid the temptation to go with a complicated touchscreen and keep everything as mechanical as possible
I saw a ramen vending machine when I was there a few weeks ago. Japan is light years ahead of us in so many ways.
Too bad. … Hello there!
