Does Diebold make Kotex and Tampon machines?
Edited on Sat Nov-27-04 09:56 AM by GingerSnaps
I am trying to find out what other type of non-functioning machines that Diebold manufacturers. The only other type of machines that I can think of are the Tampon and Kotex machines in public restrooms. You end up putting change into it thinking that you might hit the jackpot and one will come out but every time you put your change in you lose it and you have no one to complain to.

Who wants to bet that Diebold makes the non functioning Sanitary Napkin machines? :D

2. They Make ATMs
and I recall that when they first came out, they captured my bank card more than they actually dispensed cash. I still come across lots of them rendered useless for one reason or another.

4. did you see how in LA they glued the store locks
in a Mall and Black Friday shoppers had to wait for locksmiths?
How much you wanna bet someone starts supergluing ATMS. I would laugh my ass off!

5. I hated that about Diebold ATM's!
If the machine hiccupped, it'd display "Your card has been retained. Please contact your financial institution."

Now their machines go "You vote has been discarded. Please Go Pound Sand..."

8. That explains why...
the machine gave me a tampon when I know I put a check mark next to kotex pads. Should have known it was Die-bold up to their old tricks. :(


:D

10. All it takes is a good yank
And it opens up and you can switch the Kotex's with the tampons. People think that they are buying one product but they end up with the other one. :D :grr:

13. That's why you should always keep a spare in your purse.
You never know when a situation will come up where the only thing standing between you and complete embarrassment is a non-functioning personal hygiene product machine.

12. No one to complain to?
You mean, "If machine fails to dispense product, see matron" really means nothing? ;)

I always got a good giggle out of that "see matron" crap.

15. I wonder about "the matron" though.
Who is she? Where the hell are we supposed to find her, even supposing we WANTED to?
