        It only makes you look suspicious when opening a vending machine. A vending machine company uniform would be better than covering your face.

          It’s not to not look suspicious, it’s just to cover your face so they can’t id you as easily.

          It just looks less suspicious nowadays instead of drawing immediate attention

      It’s only suspicious if you take one or two snacks.

      You need to completely empty the machine in a cart, bonus points if you empty several vending machines in a row.

          When I worked IT, I went to a local fire station and said I was there to update their computers. The person I talked to didn’t seem to know that this was scheduled, but they led me to their office with the computers and showed me how to log on. I’m pretty sure they just assumed I was telling the truth because I spoke confidently and was wearing a polo, but I could have literally been anyone.

      Great, you for a recording of a guy stealing from your machine. Good luck getting the police to give a damn
