Burbank CA: High-priced food dispensers debut


The vending machine is called Beverly Hills Caviar. However, the first one has just been set up in the modest bedroom town of Burbank, about 20 miles and billions of dollars away from the other snooty and grossly wealthy Southern California city.

It’s a digital touch-screen vending machine now in operation on the second floor of the Burbank Towne Shopping Mall at 201 E. Magnolia Blvd. For a high price, you can choose from what the company calls “a large selection of the world’s finest caviar, truffles, escargot, bottarga, blinis, oils, Mother of Pearl plates and spoons, gift boxes and gourmet salts.”

If you happen to be visiting Burbank and in the mall there, take a look at the example of excess that few people can afford these days. According to price listings, the items can each cost anywhere from under $50 up to $500. 

Public dispensing machines have come a long way. How many of us can still remember the penny chewing gum and tiny Hershey bar machines? Back in the 1930s and 1940s, they were on el and subway platforms in Philly, New York, Chicago, Boston and elsewhere.

Senior Discounts At Popular Restaurant Chains PDF Print E-mail


Cheaper eats: If you want to keep your retirement nest egg a bit longer when dining out and/or traveling, consider these deals. Some are automatic, some for limited times of day/week, some require AARP membership and for others, you won’t get discounts unless you speak up for ‘em.

Arby’s, Golden Corral, Bubba Gump, Burger King, Denny’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, Subway and IHOP take 10% off your bill. Outback offers 15%. Many privately-owned restaurants, especially in city areas where seniors live and visit, offer similar deals.

Some well-known food delivery services also entice seniors with discounts. For example, Papa John’s offers a generous 25% off to AARP members. Therefore, whenever sitting down for or ordering a well-seasoned delivery meal, make sure you ask for the seasoned citizen discount.
