Plus there are random inspections every now and then, and usually cameras on each machine. To top it off, they don't take cash, only debit cards, so it's very easy to find any wrongdoers. I wonder if the anonymity of cash is part of the 'problem' here.
Having some without even the ability to take cash is a cost saving measure.
If it looks like it could take cash but isn't right now it is probably jammed up or broken. This happens all the time.
