[ It sells 80 products, including washing powder,
shampoo, shower gel, cereal, and, of course, tea.
Standing in the car park of the local pub,
the Cock Inn, in the Derbyshire village of Clifton,
the machine has already been a great success.
It takes cards and cash and
was designed by electrical engineer
Peter Fox, who lives just a few miles away in Ashborne.]

Why put the tins at the top, when they fall down they'll dent?

[jackc1806]

Pretty cool though

Village shop >

Can't catch up on the local gossip with a vending machine when you're buying your morning paper

[lostalex]

They do not fall on hard bits


This Machine is so clever you can buy Fresh Eggs from it.


Peter is Clever

anyway it's a cool idea but I'd hate to have something like that if I lived in a village, would just feel more isolated and lonely

Yes I stated That

[Shaun]

how dull and soulless

[Me. I Am Salman]

Yes I stated That

Yeah but you were too lazy to give a link.

[Black Dagger]

No, not for me, cool initiative I guess. But more unemployment </3 and it just looks tacky as well, plonked in the middle like that.

[arista]

No Shaun that Village
has no shop now.


Peter has done a Great Service to the locals

[King Gizzard]

a bleak look into the future and more jobs cut

The locals love it.


They do not want it down a dark alley
do they

[MTVN]

Actually I suppose if a village has no shop anyway it's a good idea, we've not had one in our village for about 15 years and it can be a bit annoying having to drive to get a pint of milk or a loaf of bread

Yes he is making them for places with no shops
very clever engineer

[Me. I Am Salman]

I'd hate to live in a village
moving to a suburb soon and that's depressing enough.

Pretty soon we'll all be able to get through our whole lives without interacting with another human being. My local village shop is the hub of everything and they sell a massive range of stuff... from the stuff you'd expect to things like wellington boots. And it's hardly any more expensive than the supermarket. I can't help feeling that if there's enough demand for this vending machine, there would be enough demand for a shop.

[lostalex]

how dull and soulless

so just like everything else in this ****ing world then?

[Cherie]

Good idea for anywhere that no longer has a shop. Supermarkets have all but done in for local shops, butchers and bakers.

As for employment someone has to stock it, keep an eye on the sell by dates, empty the cash, take it to the bank so it is providing some employment.

Anyone who uses the self service till at a supermarket is effectively putting someone out of a job as well.

Business rates, heating, lighting, insurance, staff it would take a fair amount of footfall to cover all that before you see any profit.

[smudgie]

Ideal for emergencies I suppose.
But rather pricey.

Sounds very picturesque.

[Ammi]

..where I live, there are quite a few surrounding villages which don't have a shop and it would be good to have a vending shop in them but not to actually replace an existing shop...a lot of village shops are post offices as well so a vending machine wouldn't replace that...

[Marsh.]

Is it not a grabber arm thing?

[Ammi]

Is it not a grabber arm thing?

..you can't have a grabber without cuddly toys Marsh, that's a well known fact...

[Jessica.]

I believe there is a floor that raises to the level of the item you want and then brings it down to the bottom safely, it would be a bit stupid to have milk on the top shelf if it would just fall down. :joker:

[Kazanne]

Great for when all the other shops are closed,late at night,holidays etc,but bad for local business I guess.

[Marsh.]

..you can't have a grabber without cuddly toys Marsh, that's a well known fact...

I meant like the one in the Lucozade venders. It raises up and brings the drink down without dropping it. :laugh:

[Alf]

Why pay a wage to an Employee when you can have one of these?

Same with Sports stadiums, no longer is somebody employed to check your ticket, it's now scan your ticket to enter the ground.

But don't blame the greedy man making millions, blame the unemployed man instead.
