Hello

My workplace has a vending machine. I bought a £2 drink this morning from it but the metal thingy turned around but didnt release the item so it got stuck.

I went to get more change to buy the one behind it/above it to try to release it, but the original one that was stuck was gone...

Im pissed off about this.

What do you make of this?

Do you think im being unreasonable?

Soda problem is someone else took it?

Better call the fizz fuzz.

What do you make of this?

That you clearly have nothing else going on in your life that you needed to make a post about this non-event! 😂

Maybe it made someone’s day.

I think we need a diagram

Have you contacted the media? This is huge news!

What do you want to do? Bring in a forensic team to lift fingerprints? Office wide DNA testing?

Someone's had fun playing 'Is the Twix or the Mars Bar in the better position to knock down the stuck item below?' I'm surprised no one's started a TV game show on this premise.

Print off a pic of missing item and make missing posters

Do you have any suspects? Any promising leads?
