Vancouver Sight--An Umbrella Vending Machine?
I arrived in Vancouver late this afternoon and saw something, which entirely makes sense, that caught my attention and had me chuckling to myself. The airport has a vending machine near the exit to ground transportation that sells umbrellas for $5 each. It appears to work like a pop or soda machine--money in, and the little screw forces the brolly out of the shelf it sits on for retrieval in a door at the bottom of the machine.
