the type of question you asked....those were the most friendly posts I have seen here.

And someone answered your question too. call pepsi or coke sales office from distribution. Have them take care of it or tell them that you will buy their product the keep the machine full. cheapest way. They will only charge you for the product and loan you the machine.

I'm sorry it's just that I find it a bit incredible that someone who owns a business would resort to asking for help (with his first ever post no less) on what is more or less a sports message board. It's as if you exhausted all other avenues of approach beforehand and this was last desperate attempt for an answer.
Welcome to the board, I promise not to be a prick from now on.

Fair enough! I guess as a newb I'm subject to a bit of hazing.

As far as this being my last resort... actually it was my first. Just my way of throwing an idea out there to see what comes back... that's what's nice about message boards is that you often get a different point of view than your own. Calling the distributor was the response that I expected, but what I was really looking for was a way to purchase a pop machine that didn't involve a 3rd party getting a cut of my profits.

Thanks for everyone's inputs so far... I apologize if this type of question doesn't quite fit in here... on ole JJ, these kind of questions were quite popular.

I wouldn't want to be a mod, I'd rather freeload. My wife moderates a board and some nights she spends 2-3 hours of her own time going through threads, deleting posts and spam and trying to maintain peace.

That's why I told Clarity; I'd do this job, but it would have to be a 7 figure multi-year deal only.

It only takes her 2-3 hours a night doing that?

Must be a lame board. :p

I hope this doesn't sound pricky but if you were hoping to make a viable profit off of selling sodas to customers wandering on your lot...well I don't know what to say. It would probably take years just to break even on the machine. If that's you plan though it might be better to buy an old refridgerator, keep it in your office stocked with pop and if anyone asks sell them one of those.
