Yes I suggested that once but apparently Quadrant are the sole suppliers and we are not allowed to bring in any one else, consequently they can charge what they like.madmartin wrote:I'm going to go to asda or tesco and buy multipacks of crisps and chocolate and then put a notice on the vending machine with a price list and tell people to come and see me :-)

Re: Vending machines
The vending machines are awful, and I try and avoid them. However, it's hard when you get back in the summer, you've got a couple of quid in your pocket, and you're gagging for a drink that isn't water. Lucozade at £1.50 ain't cheap, but it's quick - quicker than the nearest shop which is a good fifteen minute walk off the industrial estate. Not ideal, but that's what these machines prey on - convenience. I'm going to endeavour not to use them from now on, but we'll see how far my resolve lasts when it's 30 degrees outside. Pray for me, guys.
