snack machine

Coin-operated food dispenser

A snack machine is a vending machine that dispenses packaged snacks—chips, candy bars, cookies, and the like—when you insert money or swipe a card.

Found in break rooms, lobbies, and public spaces: The only thing open at 2 a.m. was the snack machine in the hospital basement.
