Glad the little girl made it out of the machine.

Which give me an idea. We have those same machines with £50 notes inside......

They don't notice the girl is not next to them ?

I say "STUPID PARENTS" for this one.

Post by: shmokes on February 17, 2012, 09:15:38 am: I sort of disagree. This has happened a bunch of times. I find it mind boggling that these companies haven't corrected this problem yet. I mean, obviously the parent ought to keep better track of their kids, but kids have been getting stuck in these things for years.

Also, no keys? WTF?

No keys because it's not owned by the supermarket or wherever isn't the operator. They just lease te space for it and someone comes around periodically to empty the money and refill the toys.

Come on, you think someone who frequents THIS site wouldn't know that?

I'm just saying why not get the vendor instead of the fire department or whoever....

Because the vendor would not have given any of the toys away free, and probably charge the parents a cleaning fee. ;)
