vending machine
Coin-operated retail box
A vending machine is a coin-operated or card-operated machine that dispenses goods—snacks, drinks, cigarettes, or other small items—without a human attendant.
You insert payment, make a selection, and the machine releases the product.
I got a candy bar from the vending machine.
The machines appear in offices, schools, airports, and other public spaces.
