[Tagging] Vending machine stores

[Bert -Araali- Van Opstal]

I've seen several in Belgium. Ranging from snack and drink vending 
machines to complete prepared or semi-prepared meals and other stuff. 
Others even have a terrace or seating area with microwaves to warm up or 
prepare food.
Essentially it's just replacing a "human" vendor by a robot, as Sathoshi 
said a means of celling. Just like an ATM replaces some traditionally 
bank counter services, doesn't mean we can't tag a bank with a seperate 
self-service or ATM room as a bank.

Those selling food can be fast food, even restaurant. As the example in 
Belgium I've seen and along some Dutch highways are just kitchens where 
the food is passed through the vending machines (hot or cold) to the 
customers in the consumption area, but they are just restaurants.

Greetings,

Bert Araali
