Rebooting a vending machine

Balfa · 2005-12-28 20:12:02

Today I put a $1 note in the vending machine at work and hit D5 for snickers and it just spat the note back out. I tried three different $1 notes and each one had the same problem, so I was getting a suspicious. I decided to unplug the machine, wait five seconds and plug it back in, and lo and behold, it worked first time…

there used to be a way to get a free bottle out of those machines, not anymore i dont think. unless someone before you tries the machine, their bottle gets stuck, then you come along and get theirs ontop of your one happens quite often.
some machines are very picky about what $1 notes to accept sometimes too.
