Soon, you won’t have to dig through your couch cushions, hoping for quarters but instead hauling out all manner of filth (i.e., Fritos) (oh, and Cheerios) (oh, and something wet). Soon: that vending machine near you will take plastic. Then, my friends, then: I’m talking Pop-Tarts every day from the SnakZone and a Diet Coke to wash it down. All with a swipe.
The machines have started popping up with a quickness since January. Vending machine owners have reported a 5- to 35-percent increase in sales without having to raise prices at all.
