Here at Coinadrink we pride ourselves on our standard of customer service, but we never stand still and we’re always looking to improve. QR codes are now being added to the Merchant Media snack machines as they are delivered to us, which will create a new, simple way to report service calls into us. This is also something that we’re also looking to add to the rest of our range in the near future and we’re already in the process of rolling them out.
I’ve managed to find a vending machine from the same year we were born! A potato vending machine from 1962 was captured right here in the UK, and it’s very interesting indeed. It’s certainly causing quite a storm on the internet.

Back in October, we published some of the craziest vending machines that could be found somewhere around the world. Live lobster made the list, and there was also a beer vending machine if you preferred to serve yourself rather than queue at the bar (this one can be found in Hackney, UK, if you’re interested!) On the back of the recent news that the first vending machine for homeless people has just been released in Nottingham, we’re keen to share more weird and wonderful vending machines that we’ve recently found…

Today is National Sandwich Day, a day to recognise one of the most popular lunch time choices not just in Britain, but all over the world. Sure, our Nation certainly takes the credit for such an invention, but it’s testament to how good the sandwich is to see its popularity now extend much, much further. We all have our individual favourite, but it’s important to understand that the sandwich, and the likes of Subway to go with it, wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for a certain gentleman known as John Montagu…

Featuring during the month dedicated to Cancer Awareness, ‘wear it pink’ is a fantastic day that helps gain lots of money in the hope that one day, we will beat Cancer!
