just wrote a frustrated email to a friend. thought you guys would like it too.

---------------------------

so yesterday, i went to the vending machine to get soda. i pushed the coke button and a chery coke comes out. i'm all "argh. someone must have put this can in with the coke cans.. i guess they look kinda similar"

this afternoon, i go again and press teh coke button.. again! "ARGH someone just put all cherry cokes in the wrong slot!"

5 minutes ago, i go again.. "ok.. this time i'm not gonna get coke. i don't want cherry coke!". i put in the money and cherry coke comes out without me even pressing a button!!!! :|

WTF is this? i don't want cherry coke!!!! stop the madness!!

They need to hire a new vending machine filler :D

Been doing it for 4 years, and boy does it suck, but it's good money, not too hard, and I'm pretty much my own boss.

But yeah, that guy's a dumbass :D

Its a conspiracy against you. Someone is actually standing insde of the machine, waiting for you to come by, and throwing cherry cokes at you.

It's a terrorist plot.

Either that, or there are hundreds of UFOs hovering above Earth waiting for the machines to kill us all.....

Our Coke guy keeps putting Mello Yellow in the Mr. Pibb slot, and Mr. Pibb in the Mello Yellow slot. To make matters worse, when we relabel them, he takes off the new labels. :disgust:

It sucks, yet its good money, not hard, and you are your own boss..

Wow, I'd like to see your definition of a "good" job.

if you kept count, i drank 1 the day before and 2 he day of the incident. i tend to eat/drink more junk food than usual during finals when i'd rather not cook.

normally, i drink soda ("pop" for you east coast weirdos) maybe once/twice every couple of weeks

Don't give me that "'pop' for you east coast weirdos." It's SODA here. It's Buffalo that's weird.

Vending machines need to have another button called "Cat Food" which will vend you a random drink.

What is it in the west coast? I know in the East it's soda, and here in Michigan it's pop.
