    Evil, they are.
    I put my money in (£1.50) and made my selection. Coke. Machine said sold out. I tried Diet Coke. Sold out. Selected Fanta (hate the stuff). Again, sold out.
    This, despite being able to see 20 bottles on display. Clearly not sold out. So I chalked **** on it and pressed the return coins button. Cheeky thing gave me a pound back. In ten pence pieces.
    Evil basterd.
    I am now on a train, thirsty, and have two very camp gay lads next to me who won't stop talking. Loud and proud. Annoying as ****. Take me now, Lord.

    I don't have much luck at all with vending machines, sometimes wonder if they are programmed to not work sometimes in order to increase profits.

    Especially bad when having an argument with one in a pub toilet that won't produce the goods!

    That definitely is a scam, has been going on for years, when the condom machines are filled up they leave half the slots empty because they know people will be too embarrassed to complain in the majority of cases.

    I don't think people would be too embarrassed to complain, just in too much of a rush so put more money in.

    What you are describing here is actually theft !!!!!!................so you need to push the machine over and smash it and then when coins are rolling over the floor, pick out £1.50 you are owed and then leave.

    I tried doing this in the upper car park at Meadowhall but was stopped by a woman

    All those shops/bars within Leeds station and you are trying to pay £1.50 for some pop.
    A minor Darwin award, fella.

    And that would be criminal damage.

    You mean all those shops that charge between £1.89 and £2 in Leeds station for a bottle of pop?
    I was off to work. R lass had forgot to buy pop when doing the shopping earlier, so I went for the cheap/quick method before boarding my train. Not Darwinian, no.
