And I’m glad that someone more responsible will take his place.

Sure it wasn’t a Million dollar bar?
One of the funniest Seinfelds ever.

Violence against vending bots is warranted in ALL cases.

If he put in two bucks and the Twix still didn’t fall then there’s no way it was only one turn away from falling in the first place. It had to be a few turns away from the git-go. I feel his response was appropriate, though.

The vending machine at my work has a sensor that knows if the candy has dropped, and if it hasn’t, it will continue twirling the spiral until something drops. This can end up giving you more than what you paid for, if one extra twist can dislodge not only the stuck one, but the one behind it.

And I think its too bad he didn't get his unemployment. I'm glad he got fired, and I'm also glad he didn't get unemployment.

Violence against vending bots is warranted in ALL cases. So I'm walking down the hallway, thinking about something else, cartoon bubbles popping before my eyes...almost up to the vending machines when I hear a rumbling noise and one of them starts walking away from the wall toward me...
It was actually a guy behind it trying to get clearance for the door so he could service it. "It was coming right for me!" I sez to the guy, and he laughs and looks real serious and sez, "It's tellin' you you better buy something."

Theft by machine. Reminds me of stoplight cameras with no witness to question in court.

I can relate to this - this has happened to me several times. The first time, I was able to shake the item loose, but lately my strength has declined and and I can no longer get the item to drop.
I'm reminded of the guy in Dr. Strangelove who emptied his pistol into the Coke machine.
Justifiable use of force, IMHO.

Imagine the stories a vending machine in the lobby of an anger management clinic could tell :)

I agree. If he was this reckless with a vending machine, how reckless will he be when he gets angry with another human?

It’s even more simple: you want this guy loading the merchandise you bought on a truck?

I am always beating on our vending machine. I kick it and do other violet things to it until my food drops down. Sometimes just to make up for the aggravation I put a note on it that I lost .50

One of the funniest Seinfelds ever. Yes, the running debate over which one contained peanuts was golden.
