Would you use a toothbrush vending machine?

[beginnerstarter]

Hey guys I got a question, would you pay 2 dollars to brush your teeth, because I was staying at a hotel and I saw a toothbrush vending machine.

Thanks

Since a toothbrush from WalMart is going to cost about $2 anyway, if I had forgotten to pack my toothbrush, I would not only not mind paying $2 for one, I'd be very happy to see a toothbrush vending machine in a convenient spot in my hotel.

Did this machine also vend toothpaste?

Front desk will give you one for free if you ask

Not if they have vending machines. I'm guessing this was a low-end property .

Either way, if you've forgotten your toothbrush and brushing your teeth is important to you, shelling out a mere $2.00 for a toothbrush seems like a no-brainer.

Welcome to Flyertalk, beginnerstarter. I am going to change the title of your thread in order to make it more descriptive.

Kinda makes you wonder what else was in the vending machine. If it's anything like the ones you find in gas station bathrooms...

Seriously, though, I could see things like bandaids, aspirin, toothpaste, mouthwash, sewing kits...

If I was there for a few days, and it was a decent brand, and I didn't have time to stop at a local store, it would be a worthwhile $2.

Depends on the toothbrush.
If they were selling dispensable one for $2, then, no I wouldn't buy one.

$2. No way. That's like 1/2 a gallon of gas. I'm not wasting that much cash on a toothbrush.

I've seen vending machines with amenities (toothbrush, comb, laundry soap) in some low end properties. Often it's the same machine that has the candy bars and chips.

Although many properties will give you a toothbrush, the ones I've seen are so bad as to be nearly useless.

SCL has these in some of their restrooms.

Would I use a toothbrush vending machine? Almost certainly if I wanted a toothbrush and there was no other practicable way of getting one at that time.

Amenities vending machine machines have been around for decades, mainly in * or ** properties. If you want to brush your teeth and forgot/lost your own brush, $2 is not exactly a major investment for good dental hygiene.

More interesting to me was the toothbrush and mouthwash vending machine in the ladies' room in an upscale London restaurant. My companion informed me the gents' had one as well. Perhaps it was to compensate for their garlic shrimp?

Hi Skink, what and where is SCL?

Also, do these vending machines accept credit cards or coins?
