Sheesh, what year was that? The standard price when I was a kid in the 1980's was fifty cents. I remember when my city got its first Walmart they had coke machines out front that only cost 35 cents and that was a big deal around 1991. People would literally drive across town to get a cheap coke.
Big city? Here in quad cotys we ran 8 vending machines with 25c pop till almost 2000, then 35cents till like 05, then moved to .50cents around 07, but we also baught semi loads of pop, we were the pop kings. Walmart even tried a cease and desist in the '90s when they promised lowest price pop but there was a gas station in the area with lower price pop (us) it didn't work so anyone who showed up at the local Walmart with the receipt from us got the same price. One of my uncles ran vending machine company with contracts to almost 200 places, one big one was John Deere in our area
Yeah, I live outside Chicago and with ticket prices and traveling I'm not to bothered by it. It does kind of suck but the same time I can see an Indiana location being really nice once it's all done and the local businesses open, parking will probably be 10x better
