So, hypothetically speaking, if a vending machine's chip resets its own settings to manufacturer's default, thus making everything in the machine fifty cents, would you report it? Or would you continue buying a candy bar or bag of chips a night(as you might sometimes do) until the owners figured it out themselves?

I'd completely empty it.

The vindictive part of me wants to do so. However, realistically, the stuff in there could be bought much more cheaply at Walmart or some grocery store, so I wouldn't in fact be saving anything.

You know, if this were a real thing and not a completely hypothetical situation.

Hypothetically, they were delicious.

Who owns it? Hotel management? If so, report it and score some brownie points.

Nah. If it were management I woulda. It's owned by some vending machine company.

I mean hypothetically, of course.

Get them to fix the price, but open up your own little black market treats stand while you work for lower prices.

The hotel has its own little shop, and I'd get in trouble if caught competing with that.

This reminds me of when I was starving in college, one of the vending machines on campus would spit out two dimes if you put in one and hit the Coin Return lever-thing.

I must have gotten fives, nay, tens of dollars of Ruby-Red Squirt out of that thing.

Update via random necro-bump: They finally got around to fixing that damn vending machine. No more hypothetical $0.50 candy bars for me.
