You are the manager? Amazing. You are going to get yoru company sued sooner rather then later.No, you can not change the locks, nor can you steal the money within them. These machines belong to a third party.You need to check their contracts, you can demand they be removed once the contract has expired.
I think it s funny that a top contributor would belittle someone for asking an honest question.If you haven t seen a delivery in 6 months, there s a good chance that the contract will be expired. It s actually common for the contracts on vending machines from 3rd party companies to lapse for years. Now, there should be a label or identification plate somewhere on the vending machine that will tell you which vending company owns it. If there aren t, I would double check with the one vendor who did pick up their machine as they will probably be familiar with their competitors and could point you in the right direction. Due to the current economy there are quite a few vending companies going out of business. They usually sell their routes/machines to larger companies, and sometimes in this process there are machines that are forgotten. If this is the case, there s a good chance that no one knows/remembers that your machines are there and would be more than happy to service them again once you remind them. If all else fails you could contact another vending company and tell them you d be happy to have them place new machines in your location if only they could remove the ones that are there.
