Can vending machines make money?

Yes, the vending machine just doesn't charge manually, but pays the fee directly through the machine, so you can get the desired goods in the vending machine.

Now, with the progress of the times and the development of society, more and more places begin to use machines instead of labor, thus reducing the costs brought by some labor, such as vending machines, subway tickets and plane tickets, which can better save the labor costs for shopkeepers and save corresponding time for themselves. Vending machines are the oldest mechanized products. What impressed me the most at that time seemed to be the place where Takeshi Kaneshiro bought drinks in the movie Chongqing Forest. There were rows of vending machines on the streets of Japanese movies, and all kinds of miscellaneous items were available for people to choose from. When I was a child, I thought it was a wonderful thing. If you put money in, you can get what you want to drink and eat. When you grow up, you also like the convenience brought by vending machines. In order to save time for employees to buy things, some companies will choose to install vending machines in their companies, so that employees can shop conveniently and quickly, thus improving work efficiency and bringing a profit to the company.

At that time, I was an intern in other places and lived in a dormitory arranged in other places. The dormitory has arranged many activity places for employees, including table tennis table, billiards table, badminton court, gym and so on. At that time, our big items, such as bedding, needed to be washed in the staff activity area. There was a vending machine behind the washing machine, which contained rows of drinks and some of the hottest snacks. Every time I go to do laundry, I forget to bring water, so I basically buy a bottle of drink and bring a book. I once asked the housekeeper how much profit this vending machine can bring to the company. She said that it is not very big, but it is definitely a rich extra income, and there is basically no need for staff management. Check how much money is in the machine every week and just put it away. It's convenient and profitable.

Vending machines don't earn as much money as one person's work, but at least they can bring some money to people, and they should be widely placed according to the distribution of people, which can promote the degree of making money.
