why are there no 24/7 Instant-Ramen/Pizza/Frozenfood vending machine restaurants in Europe? convenience stores offering a microwave or even hot water are a rarity aswell.I saw one of those machines once charging 7€ for a pack of samyang + access to it. Any german tax buttrapes those might fall under or a law to forbid any type of unstaffed place to eat at night?
>>20697517Why do you crave slop
>>20697518Seems like fun to choose from all those free extra toppings, mixing different meats/veggies in pre portioned packs with ramen for cheap, alone late at night is dream worthy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efXXkKFUe5M
asian supermarkets got those at times and you mostly want their products anyway
>>20697532Get better dreams
>>20697517why would you leave your house to prepare a packet of instant ramen? everybody can do that at home by themselves. maybe this is a thing in japan because apartments are so small that they often don't have kitchens, but that doesn't happen in europe.
>>20697517>whythey would be vandalized all day every day. it's been tried and failed many times.
>>20697517>purely economic factors
>>20697517you see OP certain "youths" in europe are not actually European............
>>20698125The metropolis of Japan is dense, massive, and 24 hours of operations.That is the bigger factor in consideration of convenience offerings than apartments not having kitchens, which is simply not accurate.
>>20698133name one that has opened and got destroyed. maybe a scan your credit card to enter system might work
>>20697517Cause we be eating good in Europe, boy, no need for that serf shit.
why are japs so crazy about instant noodles it's like if people worshipped mac and cheese
>>20699139yeah bro that's why all you can get outside of fancy restaurants is pizza, kebab/shawarma/gyro.
>>20699147We have restaurants that are not that fancy serving trad euro food.
>>20697517every gas station in america has a microwave and typically a sink nearby. if it's a chain, don't even ask for permission and microwave your soup. it's also there to heat up their cold burgers or frozen foods. hone this rule in general to not ask for permission for anything, just do what you want and get the fuck out.
>>20697532>freeno such thing, it's already included in the price
>>20697532Jesus Christ anon get some taste.
>>20699191>pay 2$ instead of 1$ in regular store>adds 500g of spam and bean sprouts due to honor system
>>20698039what extras to buy to put in soup though if you can only use hot water
>>20697532That does sound pretty cozy, anon. I wouldn't make a habit of it, but it would be pretty nice to do from time to time.
>>20697517hot water dispenser?? Doesn't seem innovative.
>>20697532That's not ramen, it's kimslop.
>>20700180>hot water: :|>hot water from a moon rune tap: :O
>>20700180>>20700197the bottom is a hotplate boiling it for 3min and it dispenses the exact amount. well invested 800$
holland has automats
>>20700186>qr code takes you to porn website
>>20697532what kind of heating element do they use that doesn't burn the paper bowl?
>>20701229solar panels
>>20697517because it does not go well with traditional european culture where people are expected to wine and dine for 2+ hours for each meal. it drives me crazy having lived in the states where you sit down, get served, pay and leave all in 30 minutes while here it takes fucking 30 minutes before someone serves you. America and Asia don't see eating like that and are fine with machines, pick up, self-order and fast service. In europe it is seen as rude.
>>20701409another element to it is that in europe dining is something seen as a luxury that is saved for special occasions (although that is changing)... so when people go out they expect a show. most euros cook at home as it is ingrained into culture and society. work also allows people to spend more time on food while in the US you do this on your own time.
>>20701413>in europe dining is something seen as a luxury that is saved for special occasionsWhere are you from Mr European? Because that’s not the case in many places in Europe
>>20699127>maybe a scan your credit card to enter system might workAll you need is a skin color sensor of some kind
>>20699142Canadians do this
>toids are now paying the same price as restaurant fresh ramen for instant ramen from a hot water machine
>>20699127Believe it or not, America used to have this type of thing back in the day - they were called Automats. And they are no longer a thing, because of you know who. Here, have a video about them from a lefty who voted for the policies that killed them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwCEvwenfg8Additionally, someone attempted to open the exact thing OP shows in CA, and you know who ended them. They went under. And if you don't know who I am talking about, just look up who beats our robot delivery services. Then you will see exactly whom is stopping all these wonderful things from existing.
>>20697517There was a cigarette vending machine in Germany I used to go when I was a kid. It didn’t sell ramen but it was next to a forest and a sheep pasture
>>20697517>>20697518>>20697532I don't want anyone to say only Americans eat slop.
>>20697517With the current state of Europe, having those vending machines might be just as bad as having them in the US.
>>20703298>you know whoIt's the Scandinavians, isn't it?
>>20699147funny, that allows me to almost pinpoint where you are in germany lolthere are a great many places with better food culture>>20697517honestly the vending machine near me is vastly superior imho as it’s refrigerated and sells fresh cuts of beef and pork, eggs, sausages from a farm right outside my town, plus some store-made stews, vacuum sealed and to be heated up at home.so all i need is some veggies from my garden and a carb at home to make good meals 24/7
>>20697517I want that Korean style restaurant in Japan.Every once in a while there was a restaurant that offered various instant ramen, but they all closed down.With that Korean style, they could reduce the number of employees, so they wouldn't close.
>>20697532Owning and refilling vending machines must be such an easy job.
>>20703298What a stupid video, plus the lady looks exactly like Tiny Tim.
>>20697517Asia is a "high trust society" where places like a 24/7 unmanned convenience store can operate without things being stolen/vandalized, although it's not 100% and slowly dropping thanks to mass migration.
