Years ago when I was still working, the vending machine operator came one day. After he left, the vending machine was running on “free” mode. A fellow employee emptied the vending machine. He put all the snacks in his desk.
Back around ‘71 when I was stationed in Panama during the Army, they installed a beer vending machine downstairs in our barracks. As small as I was, I could put my arm up the dispenser chute and pull them out whenever I wanted one...I only did it a couple times because I wasn’t really a beer drinker...LOL!
