I wish the candy machines were still there at least. Perhaps because of nostalgia, but I enjoyed seeing them. Sadly, they're rare nowadays.
i never was allowed to do those candy dispenser things so in my mind i'm sure they taste of the sweetest forbidden nectar, and aren't just a half-handful of sticky, stale, offbrand candies
No shit, my Dad used to tell me "don't bareback candy" and wouldn't let me get anything from those open containers, only wrapped candy and toys. It didn't hit me until he brought it up a few years ago what that actually meant.
they're all unsanitary
OP probably doesn't even remember the flintstones dino egg thing that used to be in every single grocery store

Of course I remember the things that are still at doors of stores I shop at.

My local alley just remodeled. For any other parents out there, mine participates in "Kids Bowl Free." For $35, my family gets two free games a day and we just pay for shoes. Weird plug, but it's a fun activity in the summer.
Our local grocery store took it a step further and had it's own money printed for kids. Kids would get a few HE-Buddy Bucks to use to spin a giant wheel for stickers. Collect enough sticks and you got to trade them in for cigarettes!

they definitely had candy and doodad machines at my grocery store a few years back but I have no idea if they still do because I just kind of tuned them out. I'm past my doodad phase

"Remember"? They're still at my local Smith's, and Wal-Mart, and other locally owned grocery stores.
I can still close my eyes and see the Super Mario Bros arcade machine at the Safeway.
Mom would give me a dollar and I could stretch it out until she was done shopping.

our Giant Eagle used to have their own VHS rental section, and inside there was a Star Wars arcade game, but that fucker was expensive per play
