TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

57.8% of you voted I don’t use vending machines in yesterday’s poll: What do you typically use vending machines for?

“I have no need to use vending machines.”

“Vending machines are definitely not my go-to…”

“Too expensive.”

“Overpriced and unhealthy.”

“Haven’t used one since high school, lol.”

“I haven’t used a vending machine in forever. I live outside a very small town, and I’m old enough to remember cigarette machines back in the day.”

“Back in the day, but not these days.”

“Haven’t used a vending machine in over 10 years — but when I did, it was for a soft drink.”

“Have not since retirement — I don’t recall how long ago that was, many moons.”

“Can’t remember the last time I used one — maybe out of desperation at the airport. Unless I’m in Japan!”

“Maybe at airports.”

“I use vending machines very sparingly while I am traveling.”

“I do not use vending machines much, but they’re convenient every once in a while — more so when traveling.”

“Typically don’t use vending machines unless I’m in a foreign country and want to try a new snack or drink.”

“Yeah, vending machines in America typically only have snacks and drinks.”

“Only use them for drinks when there is no other option.”

“Honestly, it’s closer to ‘I don’t use them’ because vending machines are so expensive now, and I’m rarely in a place where they’re the only option for snacks or drinks (usually there’s a grocery store or Walmart close enough). But most of the time I use a vending machine, it’s to purchase a drink of some kind.”

“Coke or Dr Pepper. Doritos, too.”

“At work, in an act of desperation, I’d indulge in the vending machine for both pop and snacks — Doritos, Cheetos, all that bad stuff. By the end of the day, we all had stained fingers, including the 80-year-old patriarch of the company. Now it’s more rare; in places like a rest stop, I’d be more likely to use a vending machine.”

“I don’t use them, but if I needed something on the fly and a vending machine was the only option, it would be for all of the above.”

“I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I used a vending machine, but when I do, it’s either for snacks or drinks.”

“BOTH BUT RARELY — ONLY WHEN I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.”

“That rare occasion when I am stuck somewhere and need a quick fix for managing blood sugar.”

“It’s rare for me to use a vending machine nowadays. But when I do, it depends on whether I’m hungry or thirsty — usually in a situation like waiting on my car at the dealership for hours on end, or something to that effect. At least these machines take credit cards now!”

“I like buying lottery tickets from vending machines.”

“Sad how many people don’t use vending machines anymore. It’s a great way to get rid of change that piles up — bonus points if the machine takes dimes and nickels. ;P”
