The dynamic pricing scheme allows the prices of vending machine items to be raised when demand is high and lowered when sales are low.

Me that knows how much a coke costs: Sees that it costs more at the vending machine and then doesn't buy it.

I was using the vending machine in my apartment's pool area all the time until they raised the price from $1.25 to $3.00 overnight. I stopped using the machine because if I walk a little further and go across the street, I can get that same Coke for $1.50.
