Corona Virus

Going to be ‘survival of the fittest’ in more ways than one!

I have factored in losing over 100 sites due to business failure/closures etc.

I guess many rounds will now become available but, will we be purchasing sites that are going to the wall?

Thank goodness I am not reliant on this for money.

Ive just taken the precaution of getting a new 0% credit card. 27 months interest free just in case. Gives me a buffer if my funds start running low.

Martin Lewis advice was to it now before credit card companies realise people are struggling and cut off the supply.

Hopefully wont need it.

We are all going to be facing challenging times.

I have had a customer this morning say that the first two sites he visited they have asked for removal and these were well established top earners for him.

No one could have planned for this and there is no knowing how people and businesses are going to react to the vending machine. Let's hope this disaster passes through and life gets back to normality.

Keep well everyone and use this forum to keep each other informed.

Kind regards and good luck to all.

Definitely tough times ahead. My sites today have been down 60% I have taken antibacterial wipes with me and wiped down the machines once i have put it back in the site, We all need to be going the extra mile and show that we are doing our bit to help.

I've always used Dettol to clean my machines, it kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses and polishes up well on chrome. I have a little cleaning routine that I go through every time I visit a site, everyone should hygienically clean the coin mech area and chute at least as this is where the most contact is. Obviously all the pots are sealed but at the end of the day we're still selling food and as well as keeping your machines looking good it lets the site owners and the customers know you're hygienically minded

I don't get it? wiping machines etc. 80% of the population are gonna get coronavirus. you cant stop it.

Just showing the customers we care by going the extra mile may help us at these challenging times

It is called standards Matt, standards.

Some of the rounds I have purchased... the machines where so filthy.... the previous owners should be locked up in a cell.... with no sanitation or....... toilet rolls LOL.

[Coin Operated Group]

I get you keep machine clean but I just don't get the whole sanitising mayhem. Its not stopping anything

[JavaGreen]

Totally agree Matt,

But....... Sirius the virus.... no one wants that critter especially if you have underlying health issues. Best to go into lockdown for several or is it many weeks!

Keep safe Matt, Keep safe.
