I’d send plea to the vending company (service@abvendingco.com). Perhaps they can alleviate your plight.
How can I advocate for the return of original M&Ms to campus vending machines?
Why do you make the coffee machine credit card only on 1st floor?
Alas! The library has no control over the vending machines. They are serviced by vending companies who contract with the BC office called Auxiliary Services, who has steadily been working with those companies to have machines updated to accpet Eagle ID’s. If the machine should take some other form of payment (i.e., cash) but doesn’t, please call the toll-free service number on the machine.
Why are so many vending machines on campus not taking IDs anymore?
The folks in Auxiliary Services said Coke is in the process of replacing all the Eagle Card readers with new ones that accept both credit cards and Eagle Cards, and that they’re about halfway through the process. If there’s a particular machine that should accept Eagle ID’s and doesn’t (accepted payments are identified with stickers), contact the vending company via the phone number on the machine. Soon, the snack company will also be updating their machines to accept Eagle IDs.
How come the water vending machines on 1 have been broken all semester?
It’s frustrating. They have had a variety of mechanical problems; at one point, Coca-Cola waited for a part for several weeks. I’ve reported the problem today, and I’ve been assured it’s being looked into.
Are yall gonna fix the vending machines so they take Eagle Bucks again??!!? #Needmycoffee
Coca-Cola has finally finished setting up all of their machines to accept Eagle Bucks. BC has looked into getting the coffee machine to accept eagle bucks, but unfortunately, that machine is incompatible with the card readers that read BC ID’s. You’ll need to bring cash or a credit card to use the coffee vending machine. 🙁
They took hersheys with almonds out of the Stokes S vending machines and my quality of life has significantly decreased. how can I make them put them back?
So sad! Feedback to the vending company (service@abvendingco.com) is probably your best line of action. Also, the Campus Bookstore in McElroy, just steps away from Stokes S, does carry your favorite treat (during far more limited hours – maybe get one now!)
Any explanation for the recent replacement of original M&Ms w/ Raisinets in all the vending machines?
Perhaps God is testing you. This is almost as horrific as biting into that amazing chocolate chip cookie, only to find it is, in fact {shudder} oatmeal raisin. You can (and should, for the well being of all) send feedback to service@abvendingco.com.
Will the vending machines downstairs ever work?
How frustrating. One of my helpers assures me she uses them all too often, and they usually work. She does think it is unnerving that a coffee machine is occasionally down for “updates” – that’s a little too futuristic! The machines are tended to frequently, but If you ever lose money, call 800-696-1188 for a cash refund, or go to bit.ly/EagleRefund if you used your Eagle Card. Snack on!
Can yr vending mach plz take credit/debit cards? Thx!
The machines can’t be programmed to accept credit cards, however they do take Eagle Bucks and Optional Dining Bucks, which you can buy with a credit card via the Eagle One Card services on Agora.
