    Only in America where there’s an exclusive service contract that forces franchisees to use a very expensive third party to fix the machines. The machines throw error codes that can only be cleared by a service visit for something that should be as simple as a clean and reset. It incentivizes machines that fail often and disincentivizes the franchisee from actually keeping the machine running.
