I wonder how many people put vending machines in their homes.
My daughter spent the night with a friend recently. When she came home, she told me that they had a vending machine in their house. I thought she would go on to explain that one of the parents had a vending business and the machine was in need of repair… or something along those lines. Instead, she told me that the parents were tired of their children's friends taking one sip from a soda and leaving the can sit to be dumped out later. I, too, was tired of walking through the house, collecting pop cans that were nearly full, and dumping perfectly good soda out into the sink. Those people had a great idea. Kids may not waste a can of soda if they had to pay for it. And if they do waste it, it's no money out of the pockets of the parents who provided the soda for them. I wonder how many people put vending machines in their homes. I'm sure this couple is not the only one who dealt with this problem in this manner.
