A vending machine provides snacks, beverages, lottery tickets, and other products to consumers without a cashier. Items sold via these machines vary by country and region.

In some countries, merchants may sell alcoholic beverages such as beer through vending machines, while other countries do not allow this practice (usually because of dram shop laws).

What vending machines would you reccomend replacing these with?
Q. We are doing an April Fool's Edition of our school paper. One of our biggest articles is that all of our vending machines are being replaced with ORGANIC snacks and drinks. It is a big fat lie, but hey, it's April Fool's! We have a coffee machine, a Powerade machine, and a couple of vending machines that sell chips, crackers, and cookies. What kinds of things would you reccomend saying these are being replaced with?

Does anyone know of a way to secure a small vending machine at a business without bolting in down?
Q. I have small vending machines at different business that I need to somehow make sure that no one picks them up and carry them away. They are not very light, but two strong people working together would be able to lift them away. The owner's of the businesses does not want me to bolt them to the floor or wall. Any suggestions oh how to make it so nobody will be able to carry them off easily?

A. They do make alarms for vending machines that operate from motion. If someone tries to move or shake machine it will set off alarm. You can find them from vending suppliers. This is the problem with the countertop vending machines. They seem to make sense until you start using them. You can find nice used equipment ( full size) on ebay.
