Just came on lunch, felt thirsty, so decided to get a can of pop from a nearby vending machine.

55p for a can of Pepsi Max? That's pretty bad, but I'm a captive audience, so i live with it. Put two 20ps in, then a 10p, then a 5p, the 5p comes back out, rejected. Hmm, annoying, I put the samer 5p back in and it rejects it again. Very annoying. I try it one last time and it accepts.

Why on earth do vending machines do that? It was exactly the same coin, so why on earth didn't it accept it first time around?

Unusual dressing. Had they run out of salad cream?

Thats how much they used to cost at work.. Appauling.. And the canteen was meant to be sub-sidised..

Cong.. All the vending machines used to be different prices.. And my side of the site was the cheapest.

55p. Expensive?

That's cheap compared to most places.

In an airport in Turkey a while back, a bottle of water cost £3. *Faints*

Lets hope the coin licking kid never came in contact with sewage coated coins, for his own benefit.

I know this kid who though licking the coins will help them work. My Grandad also knew this man who worked at a sewage plant, who collected money from the filters.

55p? I remember when I could get a can of Coke from a vending machine for 40p and get one from a local shop for 35p.

Nope. Fizzy drinks never do.

They're a big rip-off.
