Human vending machine
16th September, 2006 by stuart
A novel new type of vending machine has been unveiled in Shibuya today; one in which you are served by a real person. You still make your purchase in the same manner, by inserting your money and selecting what you want. However, instead of that pack of pockys being dropped from a height into a tray where you have to bend to pick them up, you are greeted by a smiling face saying “dozo” (please) and the person handing your chocolate to you. Very nice, but I do feel sorry for the person stuck inside the machine. At least there’s plenty of chocolate to eat! The vending machine will be around for 18 days.

Human Vending Machine…
Japanese go oldschool analog with this one. It works just like a regular vending machine, except there’s a person in there that fetches your stuff and passes it through a hole. Whacky…

It’s refreshing to be served by a warm human being rather than a COLD EMOTIONLESS machine
