This happened in Nebraska.
The issue of vending machines in schools has been controversial for parents, school officials and the government for years. Some schools only have healthy foods in the vending machines, some machines hold no soda, and some schools turn off the machines during lunch hours. The change affects the way kids in school eat and drink. Having vending machines in schools helps in many ways besides feeding the kids.
Vending machines are used to sell a variety of items. Most commonly you will find them stocked with soft drinks and snack food. However, you can also find hot drinks available in vending machines. In some airports, books and travel maps are sold in vending machines. Cigarettes have been sold in vending machines, but changes in smoking regulations has banned these machines in many countries and states. In hotels you may find a range of toiletries and personal care products that you might have forgotten to bring along. While most machines take cash, some more sophisticated machines now accept payments by credit card.
Smart vending machines are extremely popular worldwide and now in India. With a projected market value of US$ 130 Billion by 2023, it is one industry that is growing at a CRGP of 9%. Plus the shifts in consumer behaviour and shopping patterns, automatic vending machines have been aiding businesses with instant gratification, cashless transactions and data analytics to enter the micro market of unmanned retail. Additionally, with product-specific customisation, vending has gone beyond the traditional snack vending machines.

A vending machine is a computer system inside the vending machines, the machine chooses/looks at the temperatures, and constantly cools/heats the drink, so that the drink will be hot/cold when the person purchases the drink. This use of the vending machine is storing and processing data as they will try and have a consistent temperature for the drink. Recent vending machines have a digital screen that shows the purchaser the different types of credit cards that they can use when they pay. When coins are slotted into the machine, the machine will calculate whether the coins that have been slotted are enough, and will give change through a separate slot. This is an example of Input and Output. Therefore, I think that vending machines are a computer systems.
In the modern, fast-paced world, more and more people are turning to vending machines to meet their everyday needs. Originally confined to dispensing nothing more than sodas and candy bars, modern vending machines now dispense hundreds of different kinds of food, from ice cream to sandwiches, and from dried nuts to fruit juice. The profits generated from vending machines, especially considering their substantial mark-up on the items they sell, make them particularly attractive to schools, offices and organizations whose members might want the occasional quick snack. The most traditional type of vending machine remains the soda machine, which dispenses chilled drinks in exchange for exact change. Increasingly, these machines offer 20oz bottles as opposed to traditional 12oz cans, meaning that they are larger than before. However, they still mostly operate in the same fashion. Candy and other non-liquid snacks are often dispensed using a screw-based delivery system, and modern door design and lasers prevent people from stealing from the machine while ensuring that the screw continues to turn until the purchased item is dispensed. More advanced machines are capable of dispensing sandwiches using a rotating method, or dropping a cup and then filling it with hot chocolate. Frozen treats can also be dispensed from some vending machines. But increasingly, there is an emphasis on offering healthier food. For years, vending machines have been known to offer food that is extremely unhealthy. As such, efforts have been made to create vending machines that dispense fruit juice, dried fruit such as raisins, or granola bars. This has proven particularly popular in schools, as a means of combating obesity. Vending machines should always be placed where they can be easily found at all hours of the day and night. Machines placed outside should be caged or otherwise protected to ensure they are not vandalized or broken by thieves. Keeping the vending machines stocked and regularly emptied is an excellent way to build up “patronage,” getting certain persons to make the vending machine a part of their daily routine. It is also a good idea to increase the stock of an item that is selling well, and decrease a stock that is selling poorly.
