I just almost cried at the vending machine.
I wanted a candy bar. Something chocolatey and yummy. I have fudge covered cookies in my desk, but I wanted a candy bar.
So I go across the hall to the machine with my one dollar. There's Reese's sticks in there and that sounded really good.
I try to insert the dollar and it won't take it. I go to the next machine (that doesn't have Reese's sticks) and insert my dollar, press the coin return button and get the change.
I insert that into the other machine. It comes right back out. I realize the machine isn't working.
So I take my four quarters upstairs to the other set of vending machines. It reads "correct change only." I don't know why I still enterd my four quarters, but I really didn't care about getting that dime back anyways.
I enter the numbers for Reese's sticks and it beeps angrily and tells me "correct change only" again. I do this a few times before giving up.
I look through all the selections and I find the only item that costs exactly a dollar. Frickin' fruit chews. Fruit chews? Really? Not even some donuts or cookies, but fruit chews.
I just almost cried at the vending machine.
