vendtex Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 You guys get many of these? One location had four yesterday. Unfortunately they work in the machines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I get some strange .. I'm guessing oil change related part at a particular oil change place. I let it slide because it's a good location and they only get about$3 worth of Mike and ikes every cycle with their stealing trick... If it got out of hand I'd just pull that locationSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendtex Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 This was an automotive place in a ghetto area. Was less than ten percent of the draw. I was hoping things like that wouldn't vend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumball guy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I had a problem in a pizza place with cardboard punch-outs from pizza boxes. I was surprised it worked on a Northwestern Triple Play but it did. It is a strong location so i didn't want to lose it or raise a fuss so I switched to Oak equipment and that stopped the problem.

brendio Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've had a couple of slugs in my time, plus the occasional shopping trolley token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzag Vending Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I keep having a place that keeps trickimg my vendstar into taking nickels on one particular candy. There were only 7 last time on a two month draw so its not worth pulling... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelwithoutaclue Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have machines that take tokens. Everytime my machines areserviced they have aprox 2dolllars in dimes and pennies. I put the dimes in myself and no product comes out. I also keep a count on how much I have . It seems like I am not getting ripped off. I guess its coffee money but not starbucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does oak have the coin fall through option? would the slugs jam up the oak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumball guy Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 47 minutes ago, vendtex said: Does oak have the coin fall through option? would the slugs jam up the oak? Yes it does. In regards to the cardboard slug it would get caught by the washer dog and that prevented it from turning a full revolution. The cardboard slug was the same size as a quarter so it fit correctly into the coin carrier and didn't fall through. It will cause a jam 9 out of 10 times because the cardboard rolls up once it hits the washer dog.. It sucks because you lose sales due to the jam but ultimately they stop trying to use the cardboard. Lose a battle or two but hopefully win the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I get a couple slugs a week, usually mixed in with a handful of Canadian quarters from the rougher side of town. Slugs vary- I see more cardboard ones than metal- the metal ones are all but impossible to ferret out I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzag Vending Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 They make slugs to work. We ran newspapers when i was younger and thats what they gave you to open the machines to replace the papers. Literally nothing can be done. If you get a few consistently, they could be from the same person, so baggie them and take them to your local pd. They may have prints in the system.
