The Venn-d diagram where resolution effort and a bit of salmonella overlap?
Pro gamer move when everyone keeps buying out your fav snacks
There’s some liability issues with this, you can’t guarantee someone read that and its not as obvious to someone who may be visually impaired. The proper course of action is to disconnect the vending machine.
They could also buy all of the offending snacks and get their money back when the vendor comes in
Legit that’s what my last employer did when a soda machine had a recall on one of the diet sodas.
Just pulled however many quarters from a register, bought all of them, and boxed them up with LOTO tape all over the box. When the guy came in to resupply, he was given the box and pulled the quarters out of the machine and gave them back.
He also left a small stack of reimbursement tags to be left on the machine, fill out what the soda was, what was wrong with it (expired, wrong soda dispensed, etc), and whoever came back would leave the cost taped to the tag with the office to return to the right employee.
Law is all about interpretation and what a reasonable person would think.
I don’t think convincing a judge that “it was obvious there was a sign and they would have read it” would be very hard.
I think it’s quite the opposite, a judge would mock you for such a lousy attempt. It’s pathetic, disconnecting the machine is a simple process and it ensures all patrons are safe, not just the ones who notice this tiny sign.
A decent example would be a elderly customer who is visually impaired. They may already frequent this machine and know what buttons they gotta press for their favourite snack. Sure sometimes they get it wrong and something else pops out but that’s ok they aren’t too picky.
But now introduce the danger of one of these options being an actual poison and the seller admitted they are aware they are selling poison among food? The judge would use this sign to make an example of you.
I worked at a place with vending machines, and we completely lacked any ownership of them. Money stolen and need a refund? Call the number on the posted machine. If you paid in cash, no luck. This seems like that to me.
My guess is that the vending machine is not owned by whoever put this up and the operator indicated they will be by to empty it.
It takes time and person-power to get these out of the machines, this seems like a perfectly acceptable stopgap measure while you’re waiting to the vending machine stocker.
Not only that, depending on where this vending machine is, it could be nothing more than a leased spot with the actual machine, inventory, and access keys owned by an off site company.
While the sign could be the best that employees of whatever store could do
Could just unplug it.
True. Where low effort post meets shitpost then?
this is how my coworkers leave comments above broken code
SunChips? Woow. I had a bag a few days ago.
Same, Munchie Mix. They havent been in the work vending machine for a few days so maybe the HR lady who stocks it knows something
The recall is due to the chips not having enough microplastic content.
This seems like it was done by someone who is actively trying to get fired lol
Cheetos Puffs Souffle?
The fuck?
Soufflé is French for Puffs
I appreciate the info, but it’s too late. I’ve got a baking atrocity to commit.
