havending Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 For us in the south and mid west we can all agree that service vending is a thorn in the side. I'm working on completely taking 3 of their w locations. I'm ordering racks for them on Monday. So I got to thinking can we as a group take 50 of their locations. I'm talking about taking a location completely away and having them booted. As we take one we can take a photo of what we put in and post it. Are you up to it?

Nick505 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I would jump on the band wagon but I don't think they are in New Mexico, but I do want to get the two racks kicked out of my Ice Cream shop location.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know why people do not like them. They will lie to a location and say they are nation wide. They use mostly crappy machines that have been painted several times. You can also blame them for all the hybird aa stuff. They used to have aa produce micro versions of two inch product that would fit in to a one inch cap. Remember the tiny Madagascar a few years back. And they show up everywhere. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knock heads with them all over Kansas. Their equipment is old and nasty and it is ironic that they use the word service in their company name because their service sucks! I am in many locations with them and their machines are ALWAYS out of order. I also agree that they tend to play dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis Caroline Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 +1 for us. Just gave then the boot out a grocery store. Pics soon to follow. Mike Is it a national chain store or just a local place? If national chain, isn't the decision made by the corporate office or does each store have flexibility on who they want?

havending Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I hope the service vending driver is traveling lite when he comes this way again. He has 3 racks to pick up. One owner even put one rack in the kitchen til it gets pick up. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Before H&A After H&A The result. Adding a spiral gumball and a four way flat but the van was loaded down this trip. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 so you turned their machine around backwards and put yours in? I guess since it will just be a hired hand picking it up then it won't matter, but if an owner/operator was to find their machine like this I think it increases the chance of vandalism to your machine.

PerformaVending Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wonderful! Good work Havending! If they were in my neck of the woods, I'd help fight them, but they aren't here yet. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location owner turned it around just as I handed him a 100 dollar bill. I would never turn or move another companies machine so I don't have to face any liability issues Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will.vend Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Im surprised their 2 inch machines werent those prehistoric victor 77's Nice looking rack havend. I watched a location owner call them and ask for their equipment to be picked up. So all their route drivers better travel light. I go all out to get them booted.

havending Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 How much does that step stand cost from A&A ? To be honest I don't know Im guessing I have 60 or so stands from where I have taken really old machines out of service and kept the stands I just repaint them. If I had to guess I would say about 60 to 70 Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
