if you got all your coke at 2 for 1 they still make a huge profit its that over priced in a vend machine
Hehe isnt that the truth? The vending machines at the local train station charge £1.20 for a bottle, yet my school shop charges 60p :O
at my college they charge 60p at the counter and £1 in the vending machine 20 metres away? and ppl still use the machine!
People do the same at my school and the vending machines are right outside the entrance to the school shop building :S Its just because sometimes the place is packed out so its easier to use the machines.
We have pop machines at our school that dispense Gatorade, Coke, Water and anything else in bottles. Anyway, one day my buddies and I found out that the opening where the bottle falls out of is big enough to fit an arm up. We tried it, and we can grab the pops then pull them down through the opening. I've "jacked" about $50 worth of Pop from that machine, though it cuts up your arm, it's worth it .
I've always been tempted to try that but ever since I saw a countdown of the most idiotic injurys ever, where someone got their arm stuck in one, I decided not to give it a go.
Naw, it can't get stuck. All you have to do is wrench out, you end up ripping a little skin off, but I'd rather that than paying $1.75. .
Well next time I see a machine, I will convince my friend to do it, and if he survives then I shall have a go hehe 8)
Crazy isn't it!! I just went to Blackpool for a couple of days and because it's a seaside holiday place everywhere is 1.50 for a coke! :evil: Not as bad as Venice, it is 6 Euros for a can of coke everywhere, now thats exploitation of caffine addicts :lol: LMAO@Rexx, better than paying 1.75! We had vending machines at the place I used to work and people used that trick and the bottom corner was always empty, until they started putting the horrible crisps at the bottom!
Yes it's the most beautiful place I have ever been to! Everything is expensive there, hotels, food, drink. Mainly because it's off the mainland they have difficulty importing things not made there. And if you don't want to pay 6 Euros you can't even use the vending machine trick, I don't believe I saw a vending machine the whole time I was there!
I want to go there for the art and culture aswell as the beauty everyone I know that's been there say it's amazing D: Whilst on the topic of italy I would also like to visit Rome, have you been there too? THat would be around £2.50 ($5) to buy a bottle of coke, has anyone seen any that are more of a rip-off??
According to my brother, Rome as a city is really beautiful its just the people there arn't as nice in personality I might have a look at the machines at my school see if theres any tricks, but i wouldn't want to get caught since my schools really strict about anything bad :lol:
Actually, your brother is not the first person I have heard say that the people arent that nice :? Yeah be sure you dont get caught because no doubt it would be against the schools rules but it is also illegal
lol we have that machine at my work AND at the college I go to It would be super easy to try it at work *shifty eyes* Of corse... I work in a grocery store... and If i want to steal soda I can just walk out on the floor and get one... *shrugs*
We've "scammed" the drink machine in school for so long we are desensitised... We should keep in mind its illegal. :?
keep it up!. and when you get caught.. what will happen? you know its illegal and why will you do it.. your just waiting to be caught.
Who's really going to put you in prison over a can of coke. Unfortunately I've never seen the type of machine you can scam... I wish we had them up here in the land of super poor students! Still, it's only 45p a can in the student bars on my campus... I hope they dont hear how much they charge in Venice and put the bar prices up :S
