When was the last time you purchased something at a vending machine? (lemmy.world)

I usually avoid them because of the mark-up, but yesterday I was in the mood for a soda and didn't feel like going into a store and interacting with the cashier, so I bought one out of a vending machine. I enjoyed it. What about you? When was the last time you used a vending machine, and what did you buy?

Few days ago, a random drink.

Often they're places where there are no shops, or in places where it's less convenient to reach the shops, where they make sense.

If there's already a similarly priced shop nearby it makes more sense to nip in, grab a drink from a wider selection, and use the auto checkout. But it depends what I want.

If the machine has Lilt and I want Lilt? Ima get me that Lilt.
