Once upon a time, in US, there is a diner that only have vending machine (sound like Japanese)
I learned these existed from Mrs Maisel
I want to open one of these. With credit card scanners it could be done.
Then why people are not doing that anymore?
I guess profit doesn’t look good.
There are a few startups trying to bring it back with modern tech. Saw a YouTube video about one of them.
Until capitalism degraded into something like “it is cheaper to hire part time worker to do the job manually than to buy the machine that automate work”
In some developing country, vending machine is still rare. Guess what ? A clerk sell stuff directly to customers on street have better profit margins than investing and maintaining a vending machine.
Automats work in other parts of the world. The Netherlands has my favorite FEBO.
