Services
This article opens by saying that vending machines dispense items. Could they also include services such as a rice polisher, elongated coin machine or locker? If so, could that be indicated in the article? Twanderson (talk) 19:33, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Going from my understanding of vend and also wikt:vend#English what wiktionary says, the dispensation of a product or some sort of merchandise is implicit for this article's topic, and the "dispensation" of a service is a fundamentally different idea. The machines you suggest might be useable when a person pays for them, but the vending machine is not dispensing the "service" of vending items, it is just vending items.

- Same question for coin-operated washing machines and laundromat in general. This is still a frequent use of coin-operated machines. Note that coin operated redirects to currency detector, leaving the broader concept of coin-operated machines/services kind of orphaned. - Bri (talk) 21:59, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Maybe a category to tie them all together? I don't know if there's anything to be said about them all in general that isn't too vague to warrant a page. Mehmuffin (talk) 18:09, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Hack, cut, slice
This article needs a machete taken to it. The extent of numbing overdetail is breathtaking. EEng 04:18, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
