When was the last time you purchased something at a vending machine? (lemmy.world)

I usually avoid them because of the mark-up, but yesterday I was in the mood for a soda and didn't feel like going into a store and interacting with the cashier, so I bought one out of a vending machine. I enjoyed it. What about you? When was the last time you used a vending machine, and what did you buy?

Vending Machines are the best in Japan! While my last purchase was just a Fanta drink, I have been able to buy hot coffee and soup. Something different from the usual cold drink or snack.

Oh wait. I bought on the spot cotton candy and orange juice made from a vending machine in Singapore.

I love those random vending machines at the end of hiking spots in Japan. They take convenience seriously haha
