Padre's Beer (Tech) Pick of the week
http://gizmodo.com/self-serve-beer-vending-machines-are-coming-to-the-ball-1601716106
- The Minnesota Twins will be the first sports team in the US to have a "Beer Vending Machine"
- Customers first vist a MANNED register and show ID and pruchase a pre-paid debit card for $10, $20, or $50.
- They can then visit any of the DraftServe vending machines whenever they like
- They have a choice of 4 different beers ranging in price from $0.38 an ounce for Bud Light to $0.40 an ounce for a pale ale.
Combine this with the BEER VENDING MACHINE!!!!
