Got turned away from a new site today because (its a chip shop) they are worried that someone would break in to get the cash, stated that it had happened before at a previous shop and did not want to take the risk. Then admitted that was a fruit machine, couldnt get through to the guy after that
Anyone else found this?

Re: Excuses
I've actually had a lot of machines damaged during break ins and did wonder myself if the break ins would have even occurred if my machine wasn't on view!

Re: Excuses
Yes i had it happen to me 4 years ago with a chippy that didnt have a rolling shutter. They smashed the window and trashed my vending machine and a fruit machine. If it dosnt have a rolling shutter now i would not site in there

Re: Excuses
I find all the chip shops I have ever had are useless in the summer because all the stock melts, its impossible to put them somewhere where the sun wont melt them in most

Re: Excuses
No i dont put towers in chippys they are not right in my opinion and i have tryed them. A 20 pence bulk machine works better and toys will outsell sweets by a 70% to 30% ratio

I have just bought a small round of 20p machines that are mostly in takeaways and nearly all the Minstrels are melted.
I got the machines very cheap as the guy wasnt making any money as he was throwing Minstrels away all the time (what a plank).
pulled most of them out and replaced with F2s vending 27mm balls and cheap 45mm capsules and now coining it in
Job Done
Sweets DO NOT work well in Chippys IMO

I have a simlar story. i use to have a 20 minstral and jelly bean machine in a chippy which was no good i swaped to to a tower machine which was also rubbish. It was a chrome machine that used to get really greasy smudge marks on it. Now i have a 20p/50p F2 machine and a quid bouly machine doing very well for me
