vending machines
Vending machines are automated machines that sell a variety of products, typically snacks and beverages, without the need for a sales clerk. Users select an item by pressing a button or using a touchscreen, insert payment (coins, bills, or digital transactions), and the machine dispenses the chosen item. They are commonly found in public spaces like schools, offices, and airports, providing convenient access to food and drinks. Over time, vending machines have evolved to offer healthier options, fresh food, and even non-food items like electronics, catering to diverse consumer needs and preferences.
