As far as I understand it there is nothing stopping anyone selling hand sanitiser in a vending machine, when you disputed this I looked into it myself and could find nothing online about restrictions and vending machines definitely exist that sell it. You repeatedly state that there are restrictions and 'experts' agree it's not allowed but you are unable to show any evidence of this so we just have to assume that this is yet another one of your posts that you present as facts but is actually entirely speculation.
What you fail to realise is that this debate has gone way past hand sanitiser and is more about your overall attitude on this forum. You claim to help people but time and time again you react to other people's opinions with patronising language and derision rather than just being civil and putting forward your own argument. You've even done it within this thread, this is from page 1:

If it makes you feel better to wear a mask then that’s a good thing, but if you think it offers you 95% protection from catching the virus outside of laboratory level hygiene conditions then I would suggest that you question wherever you're getting such stats from. I very much doubt that the majority of people are walking around wearing N95 masks & even if they were, I doubt it would afford them 95% protection, in fact the advice given is a scarf or cut up sock will do with the idea behind it in helping stop those already infected from spreading the virus, thus lulling people into a false sense of security.
Once you factor in cross contamination of the masks I would suspect this would render most being worn simply nothing more than warm, wet fertile breeding grounds for lots of viruses. Underlying health problems seem to be amplified by the C-19 virus & I would not wish it on anyone but realistically the chances of contracting the virus & it leading to your untimely demise are relatively low with your odds being greater or lower once you factor in age, health etc.
As for sales I suspect a slight initial bounce in sales for any sites that are kept due to people wanting to get out & the desire for a treat but I suspect they will quickly view going out as to much of a hassle with all the restrictions in place. Leading to a quick tailing off of any sales boost.
long term we either find a vaccine or just decide to let nature take its course. One thing I’m certain of is that most retail, restaurant or pub businesses will not find it viable to keep trading with all the restrictions put upon them.
As with all things time will tell & I hope that you stay safe & well.

....a very reasonable post and based on lots of facts that were mentioned in the media. And this is the first few lines of your response....

Regards sales, you look like you have been doing this for five minutes, so will stick with what I know to guide me through the crises.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. You talk about helping people, Bert was pretty new to the forum then but as soon as he put forward his point of view you immediately pour scorn on it and use patronising language, does that seem like a good attitude to you? I take my hat off to him for replying in such a diplomatic manner.
Rant and rave as much as you like about tubz vending and Hurleys, how much you earn, how many machines you have, what a big business you have etc etc etc but none of these claims are really relevant on an online forum. You're judged
here by what you say
here and you increasingly sound like a bizarre, egotistic Walter Mitty type character that can't accept anyone else's point of view
