So can't post the video due to language but saw something amazing.
Basically this guy who owns vending machines is making more money by having his machines robbed. How ? Well these are the newer machines that once you swipe your card you can just open the door like a fridge and get whatever you want . I see them at the airport all the time .There's no stopping you past a sign saying your being monitored and everything you buy will be charged, its legit like just opening a fridge... The deal is these machines are equipped with AI cameras that watch you and charge your card for everything you get . The best part is he has some of them them in hotels and their linked the these people room costs too . So people will come , and just loot these machines empty... Like the video I saw was two or three guys with there suit cases just packing them full of stuff like Christmas ...... The whole while their cards are getting charged for everything. Best part ? This guy has some of the items listed for like $10 for a soda or similar so some of these idiots are getting charged $500-$800 for robbing these thingsof probably like $100 worth of snacks grin

I saw a video of two women from Jamaica getting away with robbing those machines, just by denying it was them to their credit card company. The credit card company didn't care about the video at all.

Reminds me of the genius that setup multiple long distance companies years ago (when you actually made long distance calls) with names like, "Who Cares", "It Doesn't Matter" and multiple more names of common things said when the operator asked which long distance company you would like.
And they had well above average rates and no arguing that you were duped as the person said the name of the phone company.

Dude raked in money off of people who didn't care, that is until they got a bill

When interviewed the guy said he had no problem sleeping at night because the customer was given the option of choosing which company they wanted.

We have one of those vending machines in the hospital. Most stuff is just out in the open to pick up and pay for and I have not heard one word about losses.
I figured it would have been gone in 2 months or less from losses.
Several cameras watching it

The break room at work is like that. We did it at another place like 20 years ago. That same vending co is here at this new place now too. Its the same vending company Dayton and Springfield and more. Two brothers started it and all these box trucks drive around all day now. The break room looks like a gas station with a self checkout. There is just one camera though and its not as fancy as you are saying. If something consistently comes up missing they just go back and look at the tape to figure it out.

I get a kick out of the credit card machines at the car washes you get out to spray yourself. You swipe and the counter starts. If you leave before ending the counter the next car can stay on your time if they keep hitting accept. Beats digging for quarters I guess but seemed like a good way to make some money.

On the flip side in business some people complain about the credit card fees to have the equipment to run credit cards and to actually run them. So there is that side of it too.
