Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vending machines require regular restocking, maintenance, and servicing, which can be expensive. Additionally, the vending machine company may have to pay a fee to place the machine in a desirable location, which can drive up costs. As a result, vending machine prices are often higher than those at traditional stores to cover these expenses.
