Giant Vending Machine in Portugal
I was on holiday in Portugal and I seen this giant 'shop size' vending machine.
Here are some pics (they are big) -

They arn't the best quality but they are ok (taken on my Nokia 7610).
I have never seen anything quite like it.
The delivery method was totally different to a normal vending machine, a little shelf moved along and took the goods then they dropped out at the 'ATM' looking machine.
Pretty cool :D

There is a little old Portugese grandmother who actually works inside that "machine" - she just moves the shelf along and it looks like it is automated...

I guess that's the future of the service industry. Anyone agree?

That's pretty cool.. :)
The "moving shelf" thing is used in all the vending machines at my school.. Pretty cool to watch. :)

That is awesome. I wish that one of those would come around here sometime. I would go to that a lot and buy my food and everything else for a day. That is amazing though, gotta love the picture quality for a cell phone too.

There is no such thing as a minor in Portugal. They don't have a drinking age in place.. ;)
