SOOOOOOOOOOO, what do you do when...
you're really hungry, the cafeteria kitchen it closed, and all you got is a $20 bill and you're standing infront of a vending machine? do you accept your friend's offer of a 5 dollar bill? of course not!! you put in the 20, and hope to get dollars coins in change (like you've seen other people get) and what happens next you say?!???????????? your drink gets stuck, and you get $18.25 in quarters and dimes! HAHAHAHA...ha. so while i was sqatting, collecting my jackpot of coins, and my friend is standing by laughing his head off, this cute girl comes up and shes like "uhh, are you done?" and i look at the ground at my mound of coins, then listen to the vending machine, and well looks like i was done. I got my friend to get my backpack and then i just put all of about 100+ coins into one of its pockets and just move on with my day. anyone else have a similar story? |

no but you should've thought about the consequences, i don't think the vending machine has an outlet for paper bills.

consequence? rofl
it was more embarassing than anything else. I knew that putting a $20 bill in a vending machine is risky, but i did it anyway cause i was freakign hungry. You'll do anythign when your'e hungry. Besides, i've spent most of the coins anyway, they just sit in my backpack, no big deal lol. once i put a 5 in an old vending machine and i got 40 dimes in change =) |

Cool. Our vending machines only take $1.
I thought you were going to say you only got like $.25 in change because the vending machine thought you put in a dollar. Anywho! |

yeah..i think the vending machines only take dollar bills..haha it'd be really funny if they took all bills though. imagine if you put in a 50..but someone would have to be really bored or something to do that =P

I always thought the machine only took 1 dollar bills and that if you put in a 5 or 10 it would just give you the soda with no change...

No. I do have a story of me being an idiot and thinking that they accepted 10's. And it counted the bill as a single.

Yeah they accept all kinds of bills. Dont try putting a fake in though, i know nobody on herse that stupid, but at my school some kid did it EVERY day. He would put tape on the end of the bill or something, and the damn maching would always accept it. I dunno how he pulled it off but eventually a staff caught him and had him arrested. Dumb ass.

Pshh that's why you always have your Vending Machine ATM card. >=P It works for me everytime.
 Not like that dumbass up there ^Materials Needed Dollar bill (a new crisp one will be best) Clear package tape (The nice thick rolls) Procedure 1) Cut a piece of tape about double the length of the bill along with 6-8 inches extra. 2) Put the edge of the dollar bill on the middle. 3) Now turn the tape over so it covers the bill on both sides. You should have extra tape on the tail, around 3-4 inches. 4) Make sure there are no kinks and the whole thing is smooth and smudge free. 5) Go to the vending machines and put in your newly made "VMATM" Card. 6) Pull on the tail as soon as the whole dollar is scanned. 7) Get your card back. 8) Enjoy free snacks and drinks at the vending machines.  Things to keep in mind 1) Never do this with personel or cameras around. (unless you are really big, or sly so that you can do it without being caught) 2) If it doesn't work then maybe it is smudged or isn't completely smooth. 3) This method works better with older machines, but still works with new ones. 4) You can always use slugs if your "VMATM" doesn't work. (Slugs are basically metal coins that resemble currency coins. You can make these by making molds with clay or wax. Then pour in some melted metal. The soldering metal works sometimes, but it isnt as durable.) Yup... tricks of the trade...  After I started doing this, I have found that I have way much more money in my pocket for shopping. I haven't shared this secret to anyone except to you guys. You should feel special.

Im to scared to put that kind of money in a machine because i would think it would get suck or my change wouldnt come back out ... ------------------------------------------------- Bad memoreys raceing though my brain, Braceing my self to face another horable day, Where will my place be tomorrow if not to day, Trying to get to one pace to another, All hope is lost , Faith is gone, This fullish felling is comeing back to me.. |
