The dynamic pricing scheme allows the prices of vending machine items to be raised when demand is high and lowered when sales are low.

    It’s weird how exchange rates don’t reflect a person’s hourly worth.

    I’m in Australia and a coke from a vending machine on a train station platform is $4.50, which is ¥435 at the current rate. A bottle of water costs the same, because… Coke.

    I honestly bought a 600ml ¥100 water in a Kyoto tourist trap in July this year. A vending machine on the street.
