maestro489 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I have a few accounts where the vending machines are down a back hall where customers wouldn't see them. Have you ever asked the business if it would be ok to have a sign in the lobby indicating that there is vending in the back? And if so did it help.? Right now I feel like only the workers are eating out of the machines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparta_Automation Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I guess it would depend. Is the hallway generally used by the public? If so, ask to put up a sign. If not, then nope...ain't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 It's a vets office so yes the public uses the hallway but only after they are called back. However once you walk through the door the machines are just to the right in plain view. I don't think they would mind if clients went back to get a snack while they waited.

maestro489 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Anybody know where I can get some dog bones to put in a vending machine? I would like to go name brand and they obviously need to be wrapped. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 What kind of volume does it do now? Do you have drink and snacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have drink and snack and its low volume. However it's 24/7 so it should be way better. In order to increase volume I want to do the sign and add a pet treat or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Here is the thing, IMO machines should not be here in the first place in this kind of account. A sign may or may not work, also they might not want people in the waiting area with food. My vet does not allow it because of dogs causing problems with possibly begging, jumping on people or even attacking over a food crumb that someone dropped on the floor. It has been documented many times a year some kid drops a food item on the floor like a cookie and goes to pick it up and gets dog bit. Probably the #1 cause of pets biting owners or others is over food. My wife's sister still has a scar on her face from this same thing happen when she was a kid with their family dog. Even if they would let you put up the sign and allow it they still may not allow the dog treats to be placed in a machine used for vending snacks. Also you run the risk of some kid going to buy something and think its a human treat and try eating it. What can I say some people do not watch their kids like they should. My suggestion is find you a better location for these two machines and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
