Quoted from Doctor6:Furthermore, machines on route are usually in dilapidated condition. If you do find a machine in the wild, at least around me, there is a 50% chance it isn't working well. An 80% chance of credit dot. Not exactly my savior for hitting the spot.
I know what you're saying. It just isn't that easy in the year 2021.
I have realized I just cannot remember the 80s accurately, so my question is legit: are location machines today in worse condition / more consistently out of service than ‘back in the day’? And if so, why?
I don’t remember actually thinking about the details involved in upkeep/service back then, when something was broken… it was just broken. I probably wouldn’t have even realized at the time that something was not working correctly unless I could see a broken piece/plastic/etc.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:What gives?
Wait… Are you asking for a sense of logic or common sense from Pinside?
