Quinnie asked in Dining OutFast Food · 1 decade ago

If your food gets stuck in the vending machine...?

Would you put more money in to get it out or do you shake the machine?

Update:

Oh yeah, these are privately run machines and it's 1130 PM here. Lol. Can't really call anyone to come running at this hour.

    Well, when I was in the Air Force back in the late 80's, we had one of those machines. But they made the biggest mistakes by putting it in a hangar full of mechanics. We knew that breaking into it was a bad idea. So we got 12 guys together & picked it up. We held it up & shook so that everything would fall out. They replaced it with a better machine that locked up if it was tilted. So we took it apart & put it back together again. The big wigs got mad & vowed to remove the machines. So we stopped for a while. Then we created slugs in the machine shop. This all happened before the technology to detect fakes came along. We just didn't find it fair that us low life's couldn't get a decent lunch while those who had rank could. Anyway, I'm sure you figured out your problem by now. So have a fairly decent day.

    I always shake the machines at my work place The stuff in those machines always gets stuck.Sometimes i shake it so hard my boss comes running out of his office and he says hay stop that do you want to buy that machine! One guy shook it so hard he knocked a picture frame off the wall and broke it!

    Shake the machine, gently. People say don't shake it because it may fall, crushing and killing you. But ........ Sometimes you may pay double just to get one item from the machine.

    Don't put anymore money in it.

    Shake it until it falls out.

    Get a bigger dude to shake it over and knock it down and try to open it and take everything out.

    Source(s): tried it and got free snacks at work..it never works.
