Using a dollar bill and masking tape to cheat a vending machine:

I think it is an excellent idea and I salute the person who has elucidated such a great technique. This is how science improves on itself over and over, it is when technology is challenged with defects and this gives rise to its improvement. That is one aspect.

Another aspect is how vending machines tend to surcharge people for unreasonable prices, which I object to.

Hmm. I don't think that will work for a lot of machines--they have scanners that closely exam the dollar. Tape would mess that up, wouldn't it?

I think it's kind of sad if you're that desperate for a cheap snack... guess it's creative though.

[TheoryOfAvarice]

Yeahh, that's true!

When I'm at school I am that desperate lol

[NervousPie]

well I wouldn't say it's sad but if you're hungry because you didn't get to eat then i understand but it honestly isn't sad cause it's the persons money so they are lucky to have a snack and I won't worry about it.

[TheoryOfAvarice]

I guess it depends on the vending machine, some are nicer than others but eh, overall most of them just don't offer anything that's all that great.

I know what you mean being at school though, I felt like I was always hungry, especially while I was up at night studying and stuff.

Sometimes college just makes you do things... >.>
Every dollar counts xD

Or you figure out why you feel the need to rip off a vending machine, as if that was the biggest expense in your life? lol

It won't work on many changers.
Can't tell you why. Wouldn't want to contribute to your delinquency. :o)

[thunthunthun]

LOL no delinquency going on here ;]
