EatMoreJunk Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Beyond the obvious "pull the machine out" what else do you suggest? It's a fairly new location and producing a lot of sales so I wanna try to figure this out. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatMoreJunk Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks. Ironic, my first thought was loading down the interior base with bagged sand. It's only happened one time in the first 3 weeks and I'm not sure whether it's emps or customers ..the machine is right beside 2 drink machines in the wide open, I'm AMAZED that anyone has the balls to shake/tip it given the location -- and it makes me wonder if it's employees due to that fact.

Poplady1 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Call Vendors Exchange in Cleveland Ohio. They have several devices that will attach the machine to the drink or the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen watson Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Sometimes shaking is done to get free product but I usually see it done because products are sticking. Make sure you have "pushers" on your spirals and test vend all your product to make sure its dropping correctly. My biggest offenders are Funyons and Reese's.

EatMoreJunk Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah I have "pushers" on every single product. I just talked to the biz owner, he's pretty sure it's one specific employee that did it yesterday. I'm gonna put warning stickers on the machine and a few 50 lb bags of sand and then give it some more time, see how it goes. It's weird, only two items "looked" like the machine had been shaken, the rest looked okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's battery operated and I mount it underneath the top shelf. This works well if the management gives a crap, if they don't then your only option is to shut it down. There's no way you can succeed in a thug account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We have used the brackets that AP supplies to mount machines to the wall. If that is a single machine that is, if it is an account with more than one machine, you can bolt them together to make it harder to shake. If management does not care about the abuse, it will be tough to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sand is the cheapest, easiest option - figure about twenty bucks worth of construction sand and double bag it with trash bags in case you spring a leak.

AZVendor Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If you can locate the snack between the two soda machines then you can screw straps across both edges of the snack into the sodas to hold the snack in place. Of course, only if the two soda machines are yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
