jay22 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 i’m curious how much product you guys have had to throw out due to almost no store traffic for at least 3 months? i can imagine those doing candy and chocolate can’t be having a good time right now. even though i only do gumballs i’ve still thrown out a good 6 cases worth.

Honestly it hasn't been too bad for me. I lost about two months of servicing and just basically picked up where I left off. Generally, an extra 2 months added to a service cycle isn't catastrophic (in bulk vending) as long as the location temperature doesn't have wild extremes or isn't in direct sunlight. I may see a bit more shrink materialize over the next 3-6 months because of the overall loss in sales but I luckily I haven't run into a bunch of melted or spoiled candy since returning.

gumball guy Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Down about 30 percent from this time last year. Coin shortage doing us no favors either. I have yet to place a machine in a new location since this mess started. Just when you think things are calming down then the numbers seem to start creeping back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
