24-hour meat access is now available for the Parisians, thanks to the newly installed meat vending machine in L'Ami Txulette, Paris.
According to Independent UK, this meat vending machine was installed on the first week of February outside a butcher's shop, where most of the November attacks took place according to the Telegraph. It was also mentioned there that it's the fifth meat vending machine in France and cost nearly 10,000 euros.
Florence Pouzol, the owner of L'Ami Txulette said that the vending machine offers a wide variety of meat products which are prepared and packed by them. They aim to give an additional service to its customers when the shop is closed for they observed that they're still people who pass by to buy meat products but unfortunately end up standing in front to a closed shop.
Local media report the machine sells products at market prices - with the cost of two pork chops around £3.85.accepts - and accepts credit and debit cards. Other than that, steaks, sausages and ham are also the meat vending machine packed products which are offered with market prices.
Though the community people view this abundant opportunity positively, there are still those traditional ones that are opposed to the rise of these vending machines.
"I oppose these machines because they stop people coming into our shops," said Emmanuel Gripon, an official of the French Bakers' Federation to the Telegraph. "It's contributing to the desertification of the countryside and it harms the social life of communities."
Another local said that buying meat products in a machine is a bit off-putting. It's impersonal and has a chance of refrigeration system failing, the Telegraph reports.
However, a large population in the country says that the meat vending machines are effective and the most convenient way to get meat on their ways of life.
