Someone should audit this new program

Wait, you can use debit at vending machines now? I am so out of touch.

1 Dr. Pepper > 3 cans of seven-up

Oof. Dr Pepper to 7-up is a serious downgrade. My condolences

I cringed

Update: I tried the Doctor Pepper button on the machine again. Out comes one (1) can of 7-up.

"Ok, fine you $&@?€ I'll play along," I think, so I pay again and push the 7-up button. Result: 'Select another option.'

So I push the button for iced (sweet) tea. And out comes... A bottle of Gatorade.

Ok so the Diet Pepsi button gets you iced tea. This is progress
