I sometimes don't know what I want from a vending machine.
Proposed is a "random" button so the machine makes the
decision for me. Perhaps the price could be reduced while the
machine dispenses the product with the highest excess
inventory.

I imagine this is how blind people use vending machines anyway. Maybe better if you called it the 'Blind Person Vending Machine simulation button'. This is why I always think its slightly odd to have braile on vending machines. |

Searching the Halfbakery for "Random vending" gives lots of similar ideas, two of which I've linked. Do you think you could do a search yourself before posting ideas?
[marked-for-deletion] Redundant. |

The same was said to me, hippo. Perhaps when you
joined this site in 2000 you were the perfect
halfbaker? |

Why are you taking it personally, [Phront]? Take a
look at the FAQ (click on
"help" on the bar at the left). You're expected to
do a search to see if your idea has been posted (or
baked) already before you post. |

Sometimes it's hard to tell that an idea may already
exist on the Halfbakery.
Some ideas may be very similar, but may be
described very differently. In
these cases, usually someone who recalls seeing the
original idea (or posting
the original idea) will bring it to your attention. It's not really a big deal.
But if it only takes a
cursory search on either the HB or Google to find
the exact idea you're
describing, then you haven't done your due
diligence and you should expect
to get a bit of shit for it. Just take it in stride,
delete the idea, and move
on. |

[Phrontistery] I'm not quite sure what you're getting
at with your question. Anyway, [kevinthenerd] has
been here since 2006 - plenty of time for anyone to
go and read the 'help' page. |

I think most of us have committed the sin of posting an ill-
researched idea or two. It's no big deal. You take your
lumps, then everyone moves on. |
|
| |
All vending machines are random. You either get something for your money or you don't. |
|
| |
I thought you were patronising, hippo. ytk conveyed
the same point far more civilly. |
