| | We have another vending machine here. It's a combination of a snack/drink dispenser. It's like a giant sunglasses rack - the whole inner section spins in a circle and you stop it when you see something that you want. Then you pay your money, and slide open the little window to grab your Maruchan Instant Lunch...or whatever.
Another great idea that got all messed up somewhere along the way. They made it super easy to use with only two buttons to press: rotate left, and rotate right. Even a 5-year old could operate this one, right? Noooooope. They've made the buttons so insanely hard to press, that you have to leverage your entire body weight against the machine in order to get it to register. If you weigh less than 100 lbs, I wouldn't even bother. And if you're wearing shoes without rubber soles, just accept that you're going to go hungry and move on - the coefficient of static friction between you and the ground won't be anywhere near what it needs to be to create the necessary amount of force...unless you can find some double-sided tape to put on the soles.
Anyways, I finally got mine - but my thumbs are sore now. How lame is that. If your product can make a WoW players fingers sore, you suck at making vending machines.
