Vegetable vending machine for Shanghai commuters(1/5)

A woman buys a box of cucumbers from an automatic vegetable dispenser at a residential community in Shanghai on Thursday, October 9, 2014. The unusual contraption, which sells various kinds of vegetables, has been installed in a residential community in Jinshan district of Shanghai. Users can pay for vegetables online before getting the products from the machine by sweeping QR code on the machine with their smart phones. Buyers don't have to fear that their vegetables go bad as the temperature and humidity in the vending machine are deliberately set to keep the vegetables fresh. [Photo: China News Service/ Zhuang Yi]
