new kind of kiosk

i saw this in the twin peaks mall and thought it was really cool. it would have been cooler if it actually worked! i think something was jammed in it, and the robot arm that retrieves your purchase couldn't move.

but theoretically, it's easier and more convenient. it's basically a vending machine plus an atm (expect you pay money instead of withdrawing it).
boulder must be a test market for this.
