For about the same price as the quarter eating vending machine, a 7-11 style soda dispenser could probably have been installed and the price per soda would probably have been around 2 cents each for a big gulp size. It is very cost effective, much better than bottles or cans. It might have been viewed as a step up in benefits vs. a takeaway. Pennywise, pound-foolish. http://www.sodadispenserdepot.com/dispensersused.html http://www.sodadispenserdepot.com/dispensersused.html

Having worked on and off in restaurants over the years, you have to clean these things nightly - and thoroughly - or else they get disgusting very quickly. That's the biggest problem with most of this kind of thing, espresso machines too. We have a single-serve automatic coffee maker right now that's not supposed to require regular cleaning, it's a little better about it but it can still get really gross.
