vending
Automated retail dispensing
Vending is the act of selling, particularly through automated machines.
A vending machine dispenses snacks, drinks, or other goods when you insert payment.
The term appears almost exclusively in this context—you rarely hear of someone vending goods directly.
The vending machines in the break room are always out of order.
