This problem is especially bad for cash payers (such as me).
Today, I tried to buy an overpriced box of strawberry Pocky ($4.00 USD) from the cafeteria machine. While the touchscreen reliably worked, that was it. I made my selection and inserted a $5.00 USD bill into the feed slot. To my surprise, it didn’t add a single cent of credit, and pressing “return” did not return the $5.00 USD bill.
I tried contacting the machine operator and the school office, but I have doubts that anything short of litigation will suffice.
