Default vending machines = programmed to rip you off?

think about it. vending machines have been around for a ridiculous amount of years now. and somehow they still eat your money

i swear, vending machines are kinda like slot machines. its like a 1 in 10 chance you get ripped off and you win nothing methinks they are programmed that way :rick:

Some kids in my class tried tipping and shaking a vending machine to get free candy out of it, and they almost dropped it. I would have ran the **** out of there so fast if they dropped that.

We had a junk food machine in our HS and we used to take a bent up coat hanger and steal everthing out of the bottom 3 rows.

At a boy scout camp one year we bought a can of pepsi and took the can and jammed it up inside the machine at the bottom of the shoot so it stopped any incoming cans. We'd watch it and get free drinks after someone pay'd and then punched the thing for 5 minutes (we were evil).
