In the end it took 5 people and 1 hour for the complete transaction! (someone showed me the knife that was behind a glass showcase, someone else went to tell the person who retrieved the product what I wanted, someone else worked the cash register, etc. etc.) when i inquired about this incredibly inefficient system i was told it was a way to keep people employed. A type of "socialism" as they described it. although I agree with the conclusion that people may break the machines if they do not know how to use them and become impatient. Their is already a population problem versus jobs available in India and with machines making some of those jobs "unnecessary" well, what's a simple worker to do? i stumbled on your blog and enjoyed it very much! i've been to Mumbai, New Delhi and many places in between. I love India and will never forget my many incredible experiences there! cheers =) well the answer seems a bit obvious to me that with so many people you have to employ them somehow…I had a very similar experience in Eqypt trying to buy a simple kitchen knife, not with a vending machine but at an old fashioned “department store.” In the end it took 5 people and 1 hour for the complete transaction!
