    Someone buying from that machine that regularly either has no money problems or doesnt realise how much cheaper it would be to buy them from a grocery store, and even better in bulk.

    The big problem with this demand is that there is no date to comply.

    I would have no idea if the demand was put up three days, that day, or almost a week ago. Then I get mad when the cheetos are put in a week after I made the demand.

    If your going to make threats, make sure that you set a proper deadline.

      If I was the vendor, I’d stock the whole thing with Cheetos and then snip the cord myself. Fuck that guy.

      As an aside, this appears to be a Canadian vending machine (Miss Vickies, Lays flavours made in Canada, Canadian chocolate bars), so the Cheeto switch may have been political.

      So to this guy- Get used to superior Hawkins Cheezies, and elbows up.

      Made me realize how similar cable is to the Spanish and Portuguese for “hair” (cabello and cabelo, resp.). And how cables and hair are related too, I suppose.

        Isn’t Spanish for cable just cable (Cah-blay)? That’s what I’ve seen used in Mexico.

          I feel like the original commenter didn’t really provide what I think you’re looking for.

          A service that does something I think you might find useful is something like this: https://shapecatcher.com/

          If you’re a learner/speaker of Chinese (or Japanese, I think? I assume they use this character also) then this character is very basic so quickly comes to mind (大 dà: “big”).

            It’s typically pronounced Tai/Dai in Japanese (大成功, daiseiko, 大変, taihen), or “oo” in the case of 大きい/大きな (ookii/ookina).

      As a Canadian vending machine, the Cheetos removal may well have been political in the first place. I notice just about everything in there is made in Canada, unlike Cheetos.

      Almost. He’d break the glass and steal all the Cheetos with no warning, and then declare that Cheeto theft is through the roof. Then he’d demand that Mr Cheeto needs to make it right by selling Cheetos at a 80% discount. Then Mr. Cheeto will donate a mill dollars to his campaign and he’ll wander off in search of his next victim.

      Since the vending machine was trashed they just removed it without replacing it.

          I’ve definitely worked with someone who made that joke every time he popped a hole in his cutters. I need to remember that when I can afford a helper to tell jokes to.
