This Is An Effective Way To Get Your Money Back From Thieving Vending Machines

Two weeks ago, a vending machine ate my money. Today the company sent me the money back and more.

You’ve probably felt the pain of a vending machine unceremoniously taking your money and giving you nothing in return. You smack it, maybe even kick it, or eventually try to shake it, but it just tells you to “f*ck off” as you angrily walk away.

Imgur user Jchenx said this happened to them at a roadside rest area, and they actually reached out to the vending machine company to get their money back.

The post said, “Two weeks ago, a vending machine ate my money. Today the company sent me the money back and more.”

The post then shows a letter from CCC Vending Services, apologizing for what happened, and not only giving back the $2, but gave an extra dollar for their trouble.

It’s pretty cute, and definitely awesome that the company would make sure the customer was repaid for the terrible vending machine experience.

Now you know, if a stupid vending machine takes your money, don’t take it lying down. Write an angry email and get your money back, hopefully with a little extra on top.
