A character wants a soda/candy bar/whatever from a vending machine. So, they put the dollar into the machine, it ejects the bill. They put it back in, the machine ejects it again. They take the bill out, smooths out the wrinkles, and puts it back in. The machine makes a "Ka-ching!" noise, and the character is thrilled. The machine ejects the bill again. Eventually, that character is ironing out the dollar on an ironing board he just pulled out of Hammerspace trying to get the machine to accept it. And it still won't. Maybe they'll try to use coins instead. They end up in the coin return. And don't even ask about what happens if they try the credit card reader. Commonly Played for Laughs. Truth in Television, since vending machines do tend to be quite touchy at times. Compare Vengeful Vending Machine. Has nothing to do with No Export for You, unless the snack you're trying to get is not officially sold in your country. Also not to be confused with Denied Food as Punishment. |

A Certain Magical Index: There is a vending machine that eats people's money without dispensing its drinks. Mikoto Misaka says it's because the machine is old. She gets drinks from it by hitting or shocking it, but she's often forced to run afterwards when the security robots show up, because taking something from a vending machine without paying is illegal. | |

Done more often than it is possible to count on The Simpsons. In one notable case, Homer is trying to buy a soda with a stolen $1 trillion bill. Mr Burns also tries to buy from a vending machine, but sees it as a "candy shop" and expects it to just obey his verbally given order. He's not very pleased when it doesn't react. |

Beavis and Butt-Head try to buy pork rinds from a machine that doesn't drop the goods - they figure if they try it again they'll get two for the price of one (?!?). While Beavis guards the machine, Butt-Head cadges a dollar from an old woman and goes to get change at the convenience store. When he spots a bunch of old nachos that are going to get thrown out, he buys them all and heads home, forgetting all about Beavis. | |

In the first Red Dwarf novel, after Lister has survived an event he thought was destined to kill him, he is filled with joy at life. When he puts a dollarpound in a chocolate machine and it jams, even that delights him. Of course it jams, that's what chocolate machines are for. | |

In the Discworld spin-off Mrs Bradshaw's Guidebook to the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Railway, she warns travellers against using the imp-powered confectionary machines on the station concourse, and suggests the Thieves Guild (which stamps down heavily on unlicenced theft) might want to take a look at them. | |

A vaguely similar joke occurs on Dave's World. In the episode "Cyberspace", a program is described for an evil ATM which, after the customer inserts the card and enters the PIN, gives out nothing, not even the card back. Sadly Truth in Television. Sometimes, an ATM (generally a remote one) will be sabotaged by a third party for fraud purposes, with pretty much the results given above. |

In Red Dwarf episode "Only the Good", we get a vending machine with artificial intelligence that gets angry when Rimmer uses a coin-on-a-string to get a free chocolate bar. Rimmer is unimpressed with its threats of terrible vengeance, only to get clonked on the back of the head by a flying soda can at the end of the episode. | |

Motu Patlu: In "Samosa Vending Machine", Motu inserts some money into a samosa vending machine that Chaiwala has set up to do his job while he's attending a wedding. The machine doesn't give him the samosas, instead dropping them right back on the plate contained in it right when it's about to pick them up and drop them into the outside slot. For added kicks, a kid appears and inserts his money into the machine, which not only works for him but scores him a ludicrous amount of the samosas. | |

Used in the short Blair Witch parody by Toxic Bag, The Bag Witch Project, in which some gamers hopelessly lost in the hallways of a convention center search in vain for GenCon. They keep moving in circles and winding up at the same vending machine, which invokes this trope every time they return. | |

In one episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John is trying to buy a snack out of a vending machine and the device fails to push the chip bag far enough forward for it to fall out of its holder. Annoyed, John tries tapping on the glass to see if he can jar the chips loose. Cameron promptly steps up to tap the glass once, and the chips are quickly dislodged, along with about a dozen other snacks. Except that this never actually happened, being All Just a Dream. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "Wet Painters", this happens to Patrick when he was trying to put a dollar in a vending machine, which is what SpongeBob is telling him not to do. In "Rock Bottom", SpongeBob tries to get a candy from the machine across the street from the bus stop, but every time he tries he misses the bus. He finally comes through, but as he reaches for the candy bar inside the bus pulls up, going back and forth as SpongeBob sticks his arm in and out, even revving up as he touches the candy bar. Finally, he makes a dash for it and the bus rides off without him. To top it off, someone comes and takes the candy bar, and as SpongeBob crosses the street to catch him, three busses in succession go by. |

Done in Chicken Little when Runt of the Litter tries to get a soda. A particularly cruel example, since the characters' lives actually depend on the acquisition of said soda. When the machine won't take his dollar, Runt goes into a ferocious rage, thrashing and pounding the machine, much to the astonishment of the others. The machine reluctantly spits a single soda bottle out. | |
