Pizza Vending Machines

" I believe anything that achieves "Vending Machine" status is essential. We've got candy, cigarettes, mountain dew, even fruit and sandwiches. Pizza rounds it out nicely, but how long before whiskey joins the pack? I'd settle for a beer in a movie theater. I gotta move to amsterdam.

    May it's because I just ate lunch, but I find this story to have a slightly nauseating effect somewhere just below me sternum. I'm not sure vending machines are the right direction to head for true food accessibility. It seems like the fast food delivery industry could use an overhaul first. For starters, more online ordering would be ideal, no? And secondly, Chinese/Pizza/Italian/Indian/Subs are OK, but wouldn't it be nice for once to see a McDonald's/BK/Wendys that delivered? Maybe they do, but not in Boston. :(

    Also, more delivery places (especially the online ones) need to take credit cards. They are relatively easy to get approved these days, and many don't even take a cut from the restaurant anymore. It would make the delivery process much more satisfying. Phonecall=food. Money is so prohibitive.

    I don't generally need food in less than 2 minutes (although $1.80 sounds like a deal, even for a plain cheese), but I do kinda like to know that my food hasn't been in a machine on a street corner for 3 1/2 weeks, you know? Ugghh...

    I certainly won't stop them, but let's see some 21st century delivery options become more prevalent, eh?
