I had a combo vending machine at one of my locations in downtown hotel. This was a location I obtained when a few years ago from a seller that wanted out of the vending machine business.

Everything was running normal and usual business. This location is not that great since I just visit every 3 weeks as majority of my locations.

I remember one time when I visited this location everything is normal and I never clean it since it is an all glass refrigerated combo vending machine and it does not need regular cleaning like most of my vending machines.

There was one day that my refrigerated combo vending machine as a lot of white spots sticking on the glass when I visited the hotel location. I noticed that someone placed 2 or 3 coffee beans on the delivery bin!

There was heavy moisture in my combo vending machine and I noticed that there are areas inside my vending machine that are forming molds!

I did not know that after cleaning the vending machine, the mold just returns to my vending machine maybe around once a year! You know that I am run at least 7 to 10 locations every day and I have to hurry up or else ill be loosing out on sales, gasoline, time and income.

There was an instance that the manager got so upset and it happened to me on several occasions that my vending machine’s mold issue just recurs just like the analogy of a lingering illness!

It all happened with a coffee bean!

I used to service this location for the longest time and it was only me that I have a combo vending machine in this location. When I noticed that I had a coffee bean on the delivery bin of this vending machine, I was suspecting that there might be some foul play involved.

There was a new vending machine on another floor and you never know that this can be a form of a sabotage when other vendors are out to get you in a subtle way!

If you wanted to sabotage refrigerated vending machine then you already know that planting a coffee bean on the delivery bin will do the trick and pretty soon it will spread like cancer.
