OK heres a thread for things that frustrate us. I'll start with one.
Every day the job which will require you to park furthest away from the site you are visitng will require the most trips back to your van.

Re: Things they never tell you about vending!
The ego of about 80% of pub landlords!!
They all come out with things like ''iv'e been in this business 30 years'' and ''I know everything about this game, those machines are a waste of time''....
.....if they were that clever they would own their pub by now, instead of leasing it from Enterprise Inn's, and making sod all from it!

Forgeting your tools needed to fix a machine.
Being asked to remove your machines by a new landlord because they lower the tone of the place when the pub is a right dive.
Landlords or business owners nicking or robbing your machines when they leave

At the airport ready to board a plane for a holiday and receiving text and phone calls asking for a refill when you were only there previous week. Always happens.

Re: Things they never tell you about vending!
I got a call whilst on holiday too also fill up a machine that i had filled prior to holiday.
Explained to customer I was on a boat crossing the Bodensee [they had never heard of it] looking at a Zeppelin flying over head, they thought i was taking the pith!
