What do you do when a vending machine steals your money?

[Shekwan]

Complain to whoever runs the place its in. If its in public, then I'd be angry and do nothing.

 

[rhawn]

Slap in another bill and get the food.

I rarely use vending machines, and I only do when a) it's the only source of food around, and b) I'm starving; thus, putting in an extra dollar is justified to me.

This.

It depends on the vending machine, if its one of the ones where its a spiral coil that keeps each item in place, I steal, hand up inside its all mine. Of course the newer machines fix this, and if its less than 10p I leave it. More I destroy the coin slot and surroundings...

 

[QuoVadisNation]

For snack machines, I tend to shrug it off and tell myself I probably didn't need the empty calories anyway. If a coke machine ripped me of my diet coke however, there'd be hell to pay.

Go to the owner. I know the guy who owns the machines on my campus.

 

[Rashiminos]

I break out my pinball machine tilting skills.

This happened to me recently, I was stranded at an office building with only enough change for half the price of a canned Coke. So I looked around the parking lot for a while and found a few coins, put them in the machine and it stole my money.

Here's the fate of mine:

 

[CaptainF]

Depends on how my day is going. If I'm in a good mood I'll likely contact the building owner or simply take it as a loss...if I'm in a bad mood I'll likely go apeshit and start kicking it repeatedly out of unadulterated rage.

You had a forklift handy?

 

[musekick]

My father works on vending machines, so I just ask for his help. If he isn't around I tend to just let it go. It's not worth hurting myself to get the junk food out of it.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I punch it and then roll my eyes sarcastically. Then I get a Coke somewhere else.

 

[Perfection]

Even vending machines know better then to screw with Perfection.

 

[JonathanStrange]

Well, I simply accept that my photocopied dollar is gone forever. C'est la civ.

 

[LucyDuke]

I usually use C-4 to extract justice, but if I haven't got any handy, a crowbar gets the job done.

 

[CCRunner]

I kick it a few times and then put in another dollar. Then I complain for the rest of the day about how my foot hurts.

I suck at Paint?

Dynamite..

I ask the rugby team, and they usually oblige with a tackle
