ZonkyTheDonkey Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 So I went out to dinner with my girlfriend at a local Mexican joint where I had just located a spiral machine. Mainly because I wanted to see people give me quarters, secondly because I wanted to try the place. And wouldn't you know it, I saw 3 vends in about 20 minutes while I was there. I had just placed the machine 4 days ago, and after we paid our check, i made a quick pull at the machine by the door and there was $7.25 in there in about 3 1/2 days of operation. I think I found my first gumball honey hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BevNerd Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That's great! I love opening up a machine (either at my job or on my own) and finding more money than expected. I placed a couple Buzz Bites machines at a comic book & role playing game store and a music store/concert hall. Surprised that they had any money in them at all! It literally feels like a treasure hunt and it's a totally different experience to me. Even after working in the full line vending side for 4 years now making money for "the man".

It is even more fun to see how excited some of the younger kids get when they get the toys out of the capsules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonkyTheDonkey Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm still pretty new in the business and focusing on just candy, but if numbers hold up, I can definitely see this place as a candidate for a small 4 way rack maybe.

timberframe50 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Don't wait install a rack. If you don't someone else will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Don't wait install a rack. If you don't someone else will. I agree. Hate to see you lose a spot but as soon as a rack operator sees the spiral you will be out and they will be in. From hearing your gum sales I would estamate a 7 way would do 130 and up Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonkyTheDonkey Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 There really isn't that much room in this place. They literally had to shift stuff around for me to get in as they have tables covering the entire place and my spiral is already halfway blocking one of the doors they don't use.
