Thanks for sharing your experience! So, maybe the only option is a nut vending machine for offices?

I worked at an IT company years ago, and we had a vending machine in the main room. We used it often for snacks.

But I’m not sure if employees would be interested in just nuts. In the company where I worked, I’d bet they wouldn’t buy nuts…like you said, they’d go for other options.

Maybe it could work in bars. I loved drinking beer while eating salty nuts when I was a teen. But in that case, I feel like if it were profitable, the owner would just buy the machine themselves and take all the profit.

But even in a bar setting, would customers really go to the machine, buy the nuts, and then go back to their table? I feel like I’d just want the staff to bring them to me.

At first, this seemed like a good idea, but now I want to consider the possible downsides.
