I was servicing my route when I discovered at my last stop that my machine walked out the door. It kind of sucks since this was a profitable location. The location is a local bar and grill. The bartender told me she is going to see if the night crew knows of anything. I would like to keep this location, however, I would need a different spot, not too close to the door. Has anyone else had this happen and did you keep the location or just call it a bust?

Lee,

That sucks, Unfortunately it is something that happens. It has happened to me although not very often. One time I even found the machine around the back of the building. The good news is that these machines are easy to replace and I would waste no time putting one back in. Just be very selective of where you place it. Ask the proprietor if, given the circumstances, he or she would allow you place the machine in a more visible location farther from the door. If that is not an option you can always consider a cable attachment to keep it grounded but that too would require approval from the management.

If the location was profitable, by all means replace it. But only once. If it happens again I would be reluctant to put another there.

I would replace the machine by the door. It usually does not happen a 2nd time.

I`ve had none break on me.1 jam because somehow there was 2 quarters in there but so far thats it.I wlso had an issue with the runts once on the same machine but no probs here.it`s a no brainer to have an 8 selection in a skateing rink for example imo.
I`M thinking maybe to sell capsules out of the worst selling head.what do you guys recomend?can`t do tatoos.maybe spider-man stickers?

[GuthVending]

Well, it depends on where you are going to use them.

Where will you be using them?

Well, I've had 1 machine broken and a couple go missing and I'm only at 100 units.

For instance I have one location that changed owners and the machine just vanished. I don't know if I should ask to put a new one in or not?
