By far the worst vending place. We decided to have their vending machines in our building, they never came out to refill. They were supposed to come out weekly (as per what our contract stated) did not see them for over 3 months. Cookies had mold growing on them. The contact phone number we had to reach someone was disconnected. We were lucky to hear back via email. The machines never worked (more than half the time we had them, they were out of service and was constantly taking money.) and literally no one would come by. Awful place to do buisness through. Would advise to steer clear of going through these guys.
