    Capitalism At Its Finest

    AKA Stupid American Consumers

    Given the headline, one would imagine this rant is about gas prices, and the fact that American drives will not (in many cases can not) curb their driving. But this is just about the vending machine here.

    There is a slot in the vending machine that is labeled 65 cents. It is selling items that are normally sold in other slots for 65 cents. But that slot charges 75 cents. I am sure this is simply an oversight on the part of the guy who stocks it. He probably forgot to change the slot to charge 65 cents when he rotated in this product. But the thing that gets me is, people are buying it at 75 cents. I'm sure he only means to charge 65 cents, but people happily pay more! And the vending guy will never notice!
