It is certainly not surprised to find bags of fresh eggs inside vending machines alone side of the road, set up by local farmers in Japan.

Book Vending Machines

Book vending machines can be found at the airport and hotels in England. The machines offer a variety of titles from best- selling author, puzzle books to kids’ titles. Book machines are also coming to Australia and Asia lately.

While I am amazed by how talent and novel these vending machine developers are, I do think about the potential concerns among store managers and consumers. These vending machines take over merchandises that are selling at local stores. From the store mangers’ side, they might be worried about the sales impact by the new innovation that brings consumers so much convenience. From the consumers’ side, even though they brought consumers with great advantages and convenience, they probablywould be considering if the eggs and lobsters are fresh.  After seeing these bizarre vending machines, will you get stuff from the newest vending machines?
