wtf?! You got all of your money back, right? Getting 7 coins back instead of 5 is "unacceptable?" What a waste of a thread.

what if you bought something for 100 bucks and they gave you 10000 pennies when you wanted to return for a refund? would that be ok?

If that's all they had, I'd accept it and take it to the bank and get paper money. But that's hardly the same thing. If they gave me 5 $1 bills instead of a $5 bill, no I wouldn't care, because I got all of my money and I'm not a whiny bitch.

I don't remember the last time I actually expected to get ALL my money back the last time I used a vending machine. Once it's in there, I'm committed. Machines I see usually give you nothing back when you hit the refund switch. I've had to call the number on the machine at one point. They sent a free voucher for a coke. Pisses me off.

You have issues. Stop using stupid hyperboles and try to explain why it's so "unacceptable" for the machine to give you 7 coins instead of 5.

And stop ignoring the fact that the machine could possibly be out of quarters.

so because they are short on quarters i have to settle for 2 dimes and a nickel ? how the fvck is that my problem...

It's your problem because now you have the change, now STFU gigapet!



Oh and it's NOT the same as $10->1000 pennies (or whatever) you only got change for one quarter in dimes and a nickle.

Did you read my first post? I'm sure the vending machines are deliberately trying to force nickels and dimes on you. :roll:

so why is it my problem that they cant retrieve quarters from certain parts of the machine.....seems like a rediculous design flaw to me.

Perhaps it's designed that way so the guy who stocks the machine can't open the change bin, he can only take the full one out and replace it with an empty one, to prevent theft?

Sounds like a ridiculous thing to complain about to me. I'm still not sure why it's such a big deal.

The thing is, it's NEVER to the advantage of the vending machine people to give you 2 dimes and a nickel instead of a quarter, so there's probably some explanation for it that you're missing. They don't do it just to piss you off, although it seems like it doesn't take much to piss you off.

i already said it was trivial. u seem to be really upset about it though.

I'm not, I'm just very confused about why it offends you enough to complain about it. I think M4H hit the nail on the head.
