UC Hastings vending machines: faithful mechanical servants or insidious Borg saboteurs?

September 27th, 2005

The UC Hastings library is under renovation this year, and a large fraction of the collection is now in a former student lounge. The lounge also has a few vending machines, and some of them display vaguely authoritarian messages:

  • ENJOY A REFRESHING DRINK NOW
  • YOU ARE GETTING HUNGRY
  • ITS TIME TO ENJOY A SNACK

I wonder what’s next. Perhaps something like this:

  • NICE MEMO YOUVE GOT THERE
  • YOU WOULDNT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO IT, WOULD YOU
  • PLEASE INSERT $5.00
