Do you visit the vending machines at your work place quite frequently? What do you buy?

Yes. Of course ours is setup like a store - items on a shelf with a self-checkout.

I buy those donut packs, a nice healthy dose of sugar and fat for my morning of watching CCTV monitors all day
 
When I worked, the vending machines actually had meals for when people worked late and didn't want to order out. They were sodium and carb filled, of course, but when you wanted something fast, it was okay. They also had pop, snacks and candies for purchase. I rarely bought from the machines because I had snacks stored up in my office.

I wish my work place had those. My options are soda, chips, and candy bars.

Well, they tore out half of the canteen and turned it into a gym...a gym where most of the workers are still working remotely and aren't even in the building. Executives make the worst decisions.
 
I used to buy a soda almost every morning before my shift started at work, until the machine started ripping me off. There was a time where I used my card to purchase a soda and I guess I forgot to cancel my transaction so I got charged a little extra whenever someone else came up and got another soda. Another time the machine didn't drop the soda I tried buying and it got stuck and the machine malfunctioned so I couldn't get anything else... I just bring my own chips and drinks in now.

Ours are like that. Full meals but not the best for you meals.

My company does provide free soup of the day and a salad bar to employees, though. Sody, coffee, and tea is also free. They do try to take care of us 🙂 It's a great place to work for.

Ooh, I'd love a soup of the day and salad bar!
 
There is one but we do not have a company to restock it. Every once in a while the office staff will go to costco and buy things to put in there but its half empty most of the time. Whatever is left in there is usually what people don't want to eat. I might get something if I am desperate. Lol
 
I only buy pop. It's the only vending machine we have at my workplace. XD

Only the coffee machine. I usually bring snacks from home. I really hope that we can have one of those in our office soon so that I can enjoy proper coffee at work. At home, we mostly drink tea, so the office is the only place where I can indulge in a good cup of coffee.

Nope. Our machines don't take card, and I don't really carry cash on me. I've also heard from others than the machine sometimes just takes the money without dispensing the product. We have a Coke cooler at the front of the store with drinks that anyone can purchase, so I usually buy from that if I'm wanting a soda at work. If I want snacks and haven't brought any with me, I usually just go to one of the other stores in the same shopping center to purchase those.
 
We have a full concession stand pretty much.

Free soup and salad bar every day. Free fruit, too.

The paid items are sandwiches, meals, candy, chips, etc.

It's more than a vending machine offers.
 
We have the most dreadful vending machines at work! Picture it, it’s 1990, it’s a baking warm day, you to the vending machine and it’s one of those old ones with the round shaped buttons to select what you want, but of course the one you want isn’t working, so you pick something else and it comes out and you’d have been better off asking for a hot chocolate it’s so darn warm and melted … oh and the best part is spending half a days wages to buy it 😂😂

Aka we have overpriced, broken, limited selection vending machines at work 😂
