     @arstechnica the most customer service ‘facing’ spin you could put on this is

     Faceling Y has come to the machine without purchasing…compute… Y usually buys Zagnut…compute… we are out of zagnut…. Compute…. Order zagnut.

     Totally unnecessary drivel. Theft prevention security cam? No excuse. Forget who made this, who ordered it?

     Maybe it’s a psych experiment.
