Additional Notes

While there are many benefits associated with installing vending machines in schools, some critics argue they contribute to unhealthy eating habits among students. This can be mitigated by carefully selecting the products sold in these machines. Also consider the potential for cashless vending machines which can make transactions easier and more efficient for students and staff.
