   By the end of the read I was wondering why I can't setup a few vending machines, sit back and watch the profits roll in. I know it's likely more complicated that I imagine, but it seems like such a hands off way to manage commerce. It wraps up inventory management and sales into one convenient package and takes out the daily responsibilities.

      I know people who have vending machines. It's a very nice business but like almost everything else you need experience to do it right. It's not easy to find good locations, you need to stock the right stuff, you need to deal with repairs. It's not as hands off as you may think.

         And all the good locations are already taken.

            Appreciate all the common sense replies here reminding me to calm down my vending machine fortunes.
