Reminded me of vending area at dorms or a motel, cheapo carpeting and all. Odd since the stuff is available at local stores (Squirrel Hill Market has always carried Pulparindo, Panda and New Young’s have all the Asian stuff, and Kiev and Nataliya’s Euro and Eastern Euro groceries have most of the other stuff—GE for all the US snacks), but I think maybe the idea is to have it open 24 hours and unmanned, hence the bare bones look and the security cams inside. That might work when you need a Mountain Dew and a candy bar at 2am—at least until a vagrant takes up residence and uses the chip machine as a urinal. Or until the local youths start hot boxing in it.
