SERVICING THE VENDING
MACHINES
The operation of the vending machines is
sometimes
referred
to
as
automatic
merchandising.
However,
the
only
thing
automatic about it is the customer drops a coin
into the machine and receives the product in
return. Everything else is done by the vending
machine operator who services the vending
machine.
Filling the Vending Machine
Filling the vending machine (fig. 2-14) is
much easier if the product is stored properly
before being dispensed. For instance, during the
process of shipping and handling of soda cases,
there may be the possibility of damage occurring
that goes unnoticed. If these damaged cases are
not removed, the cardboard, plastic wrap, and
cans in the cases below or adjacent to the
damaged cases often remain wet for long periods
of time.
