On Sundays, Homer Village Market is closed. This past Sunday felt like a lazy day of rest. There were still chores to catch up on, but the pace was a lot slower than on a "work day". I was around the back rooms of the store almost all day until venturing out early evening.
Sometime during Sunday night, thieves vandalized the Pepsi machine out front of the store, with the intent of forcing entry to get the money inside the vending machine. They must have visited during the rain storms or maybe a brief lull in the rain. They left behind a muddy handprint on the store beside the vending machine, and took the cash box from inside the machine.
All's well that ends well. The thieves probably won't try that again. Risking getting caught in the act for such a small monetary reward!
On Monday, July 8, Pepsi sent a repairman within an hour of getting my call about the problem. They replaced all the damaged parts, installed a new cash box, and tested it to be sure it works again.
So please stop by for an ice cold can of pop from the Pepsi machine for the price of 75 cents! The machine is kept well-stocked and in good repair. The area is well lit and close to the parking lot. The flavors currently available in 12 ounce containers are:
- Pepsi
- Diet Pepsi
- Mountain Dew
- Diet Mountain Dew
- Dr. Pepper
- Diet Dr. Pepper
- Orange Crush
- Mug Rootbeer - No Caffeine
- Sierra Mist - All Natural - lemon lime - No Caffeine
- Aquafina Water - 12 ounce bottle
