"Vending machines; Automatic food or drink dispensaries notorious for never working properly especially during "break time" when it is most frequented, common issues include: snacks/drinks/ getting stuck, not accepting a debit/credit card under any circumstances, accepting cash but does not allow purchases even if the correct amount is paid, the vending machine completely failing and being out of working order until it is replenished by the vendor, and sometimes on very rare occasions will give refunds in change sometimes up to a few dollars even though the snacks were paid for by card and no change or refund was even necessary, allowing a customer to buy another snack or drink for free.
