With vending machines these days dispensing just about
everything, from coffee to car, it's no surprise that there's now
one for vegetables.

Shanghai installed the first vegetable vending machine .
Manufactured by a Chinese company, it will operate 24 hours a
day. The vegetables will be sold at three yuan ($0.5) for 500 grams
on average, and the price will be 10 to 20 percent lower than the
market price.
Customers can purchase the vegetables with cash. If they do not
want to pay with cash, they can also choose to pay online and buy
the vegetables by scanning the QR code posted on the machine.
