7/24/24 Machine out of order. They said they were going to get it fixed in the fall.
7/26/24: Out of Order.
August 24, 2024. I talked to the cashier and was told that the machine had been sent out for repair about two weeks ago. She said that "One of the dies broke and they were getting a new one". She stated that the machine is extremely popular and profitable and they will be getting it back but wasn't sure how long it would take. She also wasn't sure if the designs would remain the same.
