There is a chai vending machine in a WeWork I visit sometimes. It has a screen to choose your chai, but you can also scan a QR code. The code simply takes you to a webpage with all the options. One touch on your preferred chai, and it dispenses.
I quickly figured out that the QR code is a regular URL. I can copy it and open it in my home and spam the buttons and waste their chai all day long.
I didn't do it, but I could.

I was just thinking how useful it would be to be able to preorder from your desk/on the way to the vending machine, but indeed, it sounds easily abusable.
