Shop 24 at UNSW

11 Aug 2005

Well, it took me a while, but I finally got around to a camera-toting expedition to lower campus as suggested. Comprehensiveish photo evidence follows.

A wide shot of Shop24, similar to that originally published on Dale's site

Just like the original photo only crunchy focused better. Because my camera is not a phone. *nods* ;)

Photo of contents of Shop24 in the window.

It’s really a glorified 7-11 or a vending machine that does notes and credit cards, and has cereal in stock. Yes, cereal.

Shop24 console with instructions, inset.

I presume you put your card in the slot labelled “Notes”… I didn’t actually check. You can’t quite see it when the photo is scaled down that far, but there’s actually someone’s mobile number listed next to “Info” at the bottom of the screen… would you put your phone number on a vending machine? Ah well, at least it’s not selling prepaid credit (yet).
