Why don't vending machines ever work in tv shows?

[CaptainWacky]

Whenever a character tries to use one the product inside will be stuck and the characterwill say "OH COME ON" and start shaking it or banging it, or possibly break down crying, the vending machine merely serving as an outlet for his frustrations cause by some plot point.

To be fair, they sometimes work for secondary character who come along and get them to work right away, then the main character will get angry and say "hey, that's my CANDY BAR that just dropped out, I paid for that!" and get into a fight. Or, if it's a nicer secondary character, they'll come along and give the main character a "quarter" so that they can get their stuck candy bar out, then talk to them about their problems.

BUT GENERALLY THEY NEVER WORK FIRST TIME.

Although in real life they broke down a lot too, TO BE FAIR.

They should have a vending machine that has chips in it

When I worked for UPS in the early 90's, we had an awesome vending machine that had sandwiches, pizza, and burgers, in addition to the normal chips/candy bars. It was amazing, instead of putting in a dollar and watching your chips get stuck on the little rotating spiral, you'd put in like $3.50 and have your pizza get stuck in the back of the machine.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Were they freshly delivered every day? Or could you end up with a month old pizza?

 

[Big Dick McGee]

They delivered them at least daily. They were frozen, and anyway by the end of a shift the machine was pretty well empty of all the non-candy items.

They used to get students to restock the vending machines in my last year of high school. It was a good chance to steal choclate, so we all enjoyed it.

Speaking of chocolate, has anyone tried the new chunky kitkat caramel?

Its quiet possibly the tastiest thing I have ever eaten

 

[Fuddlemiff]

They should make one with curry. And mangoes.

Never happened. Vending companies aren't that stupid. Try your bullshit elsewhere, bitch.

Your SHACK OF LIES just came tumbling down, "Captain" Wacky!

I used to restock vending machines when I was on work experience at an insurance firm, but don't listen to me, I'm probably a big fat liar!!

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I wish there was a TWINKSEX vending machine.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Yeah but they'd get stuck and you'd have to pull them out by the dick...

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And keep pulling until something else was "vended".

 

[Dr Dave]

Perhaps they buy second hand vending machines.

 

[whisky]

It would be good if the factory that made vending machines was itself in the shape of a giant vending machine, and every so often one of the vending machines would get stuck, and some giant would have to bang on the side of the factory for it to come out, only it probably wouldn't, then the next guy would get two.

 

[Dr Dave]

Perhaps the stage hands who they put in the empty machines just likes to mess with people.
