Ode to the Greatest Vending Machine (reprise)

Vending Machine in the Stairwell Nearest My CubicleRecently I discussed the most gratifying vending experience of my life. Said vending machine continues to surprise and delight. I had the same experience this morning where my candy bar got stuck in the coil. I didn’t panic. I looked calmly over at the display and saw that I still had a $.75 credit. I selected E6 again, and the coil made another rotation, dropping my candy bar to the retrieval area… as well as a second candy bar!

Sorry about the mix up, Clay. Here’s a second candy bar for your trouble. Thanks for doing business with me.

Customer service has been automated. Or maybe it was just a fluke of what is obviously a poorly designed coil.

Vending Machine in the Stairwell Nearest My Cubicle, I salute you. Again.
