  Speaker 3: Okay, So the MTA is bringing vending machines to the
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: subway system. Okay, it's been There's only three at three
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: subway stations right now, but they're planning on rolling them
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: out in the next few months. By the end of
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven, we'll see them in about twenty or
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: thirty subway stations.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: What can we get in them?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Do you know?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you could get drinks. You could get snacks
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: you've got you could even get like a cold coffee drink,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a protein drink. The one so I went down to
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the RW on twenty third Street. That one is just bebs.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: You can only get a drink. I didn't see any
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: snacks there, so I can't tell you exactly what kind
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: of snacks they were offerings. Some are protein bars, but
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you know, you get your water if you need to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: be a little bit refreshed.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I saw some people it's a little tap. It's a
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: little tap. You pay for it, like the way you
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: tap and pay for your subway card or your subway ride.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: You tap your credit card and it comes out. It's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: it's just a normal vending machine.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: How many homeless people in the motion did disturb people?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Did you have to work your way through in order
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to get to the vending machine?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: No one that time around. I was actually, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you know what it's like to be in New York
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: City in the subway system that this I did not
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: have to deal with that. I don't know if it
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: was because it was the twenty third Street station. We
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: know it's a main transfer hub. It's right on Madison
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Square Park, you know what I mean. So it's more
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: for tourist attraction.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: But I'm looking forward to hearing what the people have
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: to say, because who's against the vending machine?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Really, okay, this vending machine is only selling drinks where
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I was at RW right, But this rider isn't so impressed.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: I think that they need to fix the train system.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: In the first place, they need to clean the train entirely.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Is extremely unhygienic. The human feces, the y'urin the stalls especially.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I know, I don't know if it's this stall or
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: there's six train stall where they put these automatic doors
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: that don't even work.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I know how many.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Millions of dollars we're spent on that garbage. And every
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: Sunday we do not get proper train schedules, we don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: get bus scheduled on time. It's a mess. I mean,
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: we have we have real issues that we need to address,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: and getting vending machines is not a priority at all.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Perfect, are you surprised by that?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Larry?
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Very surprised because who in the world is against vending
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: machines except somebody you found, well.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: The MTA, You know me, there's always.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: One I honestly it's apples and oranges.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: But you know, well, the.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Fight is that what are we investing in for a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: lot of New York And they're like what are what is?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Is this worth the investment? But Jeneral Lieberd, the MTA chairman, says,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: vending machines are low cost for them. And when it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: comes to these gleaming machines, they're wrapped in Coca Cola logoes,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: they're cash lists, and they're literally launched into the wall
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: so they're not it's not like you can take them out.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: They're they're they're sealed in there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: A vending machine here which you have to basically put
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a stick of dynamite in in order to get anything.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Out of to get a honeybun, to get a honeybut
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a snacker drink will run you anywhere between three bucks
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: and four fifty. Now, these riders who didn't necessarily have
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a problem with it, they I ax them. How long
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: do they give these machines.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: I think in the next couple of months stuff that's
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: going to happen to them. People going to break in
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: them in the train station and do whatever they have
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: to do.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: I've seen I've seen thereby machines like I'm much or
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: more questorms. I haven't seen it on New York City
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: subway A part. I think it will last. There might
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: be some people that tag it up to me, that's
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: a New York City tradition.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: It will definitely get fertilized. I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: I'd just be the sad thing about it. But if
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: there's like protection around it, yeah, it could work.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, people destroy things.
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: I don't understand why it's like you can't have nice
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: things because people destroy them.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Did they sell spam in these vending machines? Now you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. Tell me a nice homeless guy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It's just gonna stand there. Let's say you Magnali, Natalie,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you go to the machine, you're ready to swipe. You said,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: would you mind buying me a cup of coffee too? Oh?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, so that's not a pressure, it's a request,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: not a crime. And they're gonna get a lot of coffee,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of coffee.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: They're gonna have to go to a.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Bathroom, and they can't find a freaking bathroom, legado, so
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they go right on the tracks.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Well, well I would turn them and say, hey, listen,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: it's only ice cold in the machine, but you can't
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: get a hot coffee.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Curtis is right, because if somebody's asking you for money,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: you could say no, I don't have any cash, sorry,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and you keep moving. But if you're standing there with
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: your credit card ready to tap, and they say, can
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: you get me a protein bar too, what are you
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: gonna say? Cause you can't life they don't have any money.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Cause you got no. Here is what I say, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: got no plastic. Then they'll say, oh, you mean mo,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I'll take that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Well, if you're already buying anything. If you're already buying something,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: they know this is why we can't have nice things.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: That's true, right, exactly. Well, listen at least twenty, if
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: not thirty, more stations to get these vending machines. They're
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: actually taking up space where newspaper stands used to be
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of them. That's sort of how the MTA
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: found repurposing this space, which leaves native New Yorkers reminiscing
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: on old times.
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: It changed a lot because a lot of people used
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: to get their stuff before they get on the subways,
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: and then you can't do that anymore. You have to
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: stop at your stores, which is much much more money
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: than they were.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: I had a character, I would say, in terms of
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: the people, we had a lot of snatchers and snatching runs.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Living in New York is like expect the unexpected.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: I do miss those. I've been in the city my
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: whole life, and I remember going on shopping trips when
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: we were little, and then when we were in the
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: train station, being able to get water or candy or
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: whatever snacks from the new stand and then seeing like
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: what magazines came out.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: On the side, and that magazine right, and that no
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: longer didn't exist anymore either. You download it now on
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: your phone, your magazine, and it was.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Another live person down there. If there was you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: an issue or something.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I date all of you. They used to have
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: these little compartmental things on the iron girdas girdage. You
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: could buy napkins, she could buy comb.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: She could buy all that, right, right, right, that was one.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They were all ripped out, all right.
• 6:52
