indiana Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 So you've been servicing your bowling alley location for almost a month now... how's it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duabntsa Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 *Updates* - It is going very well! My hot seller are women's socks! A lot of women would come to bowl in their heels or flip flops and when they rent a bowling shoe they need a pair of sock to go with it. I have check the machine 3 times now in a span of two weeks and It grossed to 410.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're running a snack machine - $400 in two weeks is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmkraz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'd love to see a picture of the machine... Can you post one? I'm trying to visualize socks in a vending machine. A1 for Doritos, A2 for snickers, A3 for socks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duabntsa Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 This is how I packed the socks up for vending. It is not even as thick as a bag of Doritos. I get these socks for .57 cents for each pair and sells them for $2.00. They go real fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks good - but you really should stamp the TVF logo on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donut Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Speaking of new things in a vending machine, has anyone seen the machines from Fastenal? I just saw one for the first time about a month ago.... You can buy work bloves, safety harnesses, and other safety equipment through them... Why didn't I think of that one?

They've actually been making similar machines for awhile. They replaced the ole guy in the tool cage back when we used to have factories in this country. The workers would use an ID card to check out tools and gloves, etc. and the machine would track who got what via the ID cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
