I like the idea of “positive choice” points. When you vended the book i really wished you would have walked over to a small chair and read it aloud to us. 😂 but this still made my day.
This is such a great Idea, At Rock City atop Chattanooga's Lookout mountain I saw an old cigarette machine repurposed to see small souvenirs in the gift shop at the top of the mountain.
Hey Bill I'm trying my best to get into the vending business I'm finding it a little difficult to get off my feet with trying to switch from bottles to cans but buying the parts to switch is so expensive. hope I make and I'm trying to stay motivated
So the students have to get the coin at the office and then immediately use it with the employee standing next to them? So what does the vending machine add that a locked cabinet with glass doors wouldn't have done the same? Aside from about $ 7,800 to the bill. If this had a way of buying the coins, it really would add value. For these low grades, it probably should be gated to avoid having the kids handle cash, so selling the coins at parent-teacher conferences and at the office where the secretaries can keep an eye on the kids would make sense. I'm also a bit concerned that desired behaviour (reading books) is gated behind another behaviour-regulating mechanism. Allowing kids to do what you want them to do only as a reward is weird and sends a confusing message.
I think the kids just like the fun of picking a book out of a vending machine. As far as having them use the coin right away is to make sure kids to keep or lose the coins...which I guess they don't want to order more of.
A great educational idea !!!!! Like !!!!!! Never thought about vending books !!!! Cool !!!!!!

I’ve always wanted to get one of those to see what could be vended in them.
Looked to me, they got boxes the same size as cigarette packs and placed the souvenirs in them. @@pikadroo

What machine do you have? That's why I like the Royal G3 machines...you don't need any additional parts to switch from bottles to cans.
@HappyVending I've got a dixie narco I think a pepsi one
Parts should be plentiful. Look for used shims and rods on ebay rather than buying new.

8K did someone rip the school off?
Just say, “8K is all the memory my computer has.” Then it won’t seem like so much. 😊
Yeah...I thought it was a little pricey, but I think the base price is around 5500. They got some add-ons and possibly got extended warranty coverage.
