It’s not quite Japan, which has over 5 million vending machines (one for every 23 people), but our local shopping centre is bristling with various vending machines. You can rent tools, drop off and collect laundry and dry-cleaning, have passport photographs taken, create a new telephone case, buy sanitary products and condoms (in the restrooms), and rent a phone powerbank.
Can anyone here remember cigarette vending machines?
