For those of you who have racks in your fleet are they worth the effort?

I keep seeing the numbers some of you guys are hitting with some of your rack locations. Are racks with toys / candy the way to go? I don't run commission so can you locate a rack at a good location with a charity? Do you really have to constantly keep up with the trends as far as the toys go? I never liked the toys in vending machines much when I was a kid and I don't care for most of them now. They just look like cheap crap and choking hazards to me.

I don't have much room at home to stockpile a lot of vending stuff so I wouldn't want a lot of inventory sitting around the house as far as toys for the machines. Plus I have 5 kids at home too so I have to keep track of all the little pieces around the house because of  the choking hazard issue. How difficult is it to stay on top of the trends? Are there any good locators for charity racks? Is the payout worth it? How well do racks do with no toys, just candy? Etc. etc.

I am just wondering if this is something I should consider a little more seriously.

Any input is appreciated.
