Noting says "Fresh" like a dispenser fridge.

"Subway eat..." Fresh?, Weeks Old? How knows how old?

I love the writing on the machine: "Subs Made Fresh Daily"

it’s pretty common for food made daily to be in dispensers nowadays, if anything goes unsold they either throw it out or give it away like an in person restaurant

If the dispenser is smart, it could even begin discounting the food as it gets older through the day to encourage purchases.

That made me curious what was out there and my first result was Coca Cola using a smart machine for evil purposes instead of good.

>In 1999, the Coca-Cola Company tested vending machines that would automatically charge higher prices for cold beverages when the temperature got hotter. According to The New York Times, the variable pricing vending machines were outfitted with a heat-sensor and a computer chip.

Put ice cube on sensor - receive infinite cola as machine interprets nuclear winter economy and makes you CEO of Coca Cola for $1.

As the sandwiches age we should raise prices due to added "flavor"

reminds me of when I was in high school. Subway and Pizza Hut sold food there. Premade sandwiches. TBH they were fine, better than standard school food anyway.

They make them fresh daily… you just don’t get to buy them right away.

It can't be appreciably worse than what they sell in-store.
