Full-line vending

In most cases, managers and staff of individual stores objected to this, because the national vending companies were not necessarily responsive when making the product choices for the machines.

Many locations will, in fact, take the initiative to contact a vending company to request installation of a machine.

Almost all soda and snack machines have vend counters that track how many items are sold, making it difficult for an employee to steal money.

Soda and snack machines are relatively expensive, unless they are obtained through a third-party vending program.

An operator may end up paying the store owner a 10% commission, which requires separate accounting for that machine.

As with bulk vending, turnover of accounts (in the event of a store closure or relocation, for instance) requires a repeat of the process of finding a location and moving the machine.

The flexibility of a bank in handling coins is an important consideration when choosing the business' financial institution.
