having to work within stone's throw of a vending machine that i have to deal with people complaining about its fucking bullshit all the time, i feel like this sign is similar to the "whatever you do, DON'T go to scihub and download all your articles for free" "warning" that professors tell their students

I loved it when my professors put a "translation" from the previous textbook to current textbook in case someone "accidentally" bought the wrong textbook.

It's more,"please don't put the thing you put in people's digestive systems into the food dispenser; that's disgusting." People have caught c-diff, vre, h-pylori, and the vowel hepatises from improperly cleaned GI-scopes.

lol bold of you to assume that "management" cares about any of that

Well the patients and families use them too and insurance doesn't reimburse for hospital acquired infections so a patient catching something from the hospital means their care gets put down as money the hospital won't get back.

funny how this sounds like something either a nurse or a vending machine restocker guy would say

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

What a coincidence!

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All I see is a sign explaining how to steal from the vending machine.

And here I am with my pleb grabbers.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Those only work for large organ removal

[–] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Other methods of theft, however, are acceptable.

Industrial vacuums are not to be used to steal food from the vending machine.

Comically yelling "come ooon!" While shaking the machine is not to be used to steal from the vending machine.

Sounds like a perfect training tool.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it really is - except they can actually see what they're doing which probably makes it first year stuff, I'm guessing?

Looks like a fun drinking game though

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

The story is someone printed out a sign of a situation they thought would be humorous and took a picture for people to laugh at on the internet.

Not to worry, this one is for colonoscopy.

The weird thing is that vending machines need a daily colonoscopy.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Haha! this new sign said nothing about the flex sigmoidoscope!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

also no parking apparently

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

The story I've heard is that this vending machine was placed right inside a medical college...

[–] letme_meowmeow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

so that is how :D

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

"do not push this red button"

Up vote for Hawkins Cheezies

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Always suspected there was some crooked medical personnel out there

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah, the story is someone used endoscopy equipment to steal food from the vending machine. bad title. feel bad.

[–] Lookorex@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

I was gonna say, the story is pretty much spelled out on the sign
