Never happened after 3/11 in Tokyo during my 4h walk home from work. I had to settle with buying beer from the convenience stores along the way.
Edit: the machines do say that they’ll do it, I just don’t know the threshold. I’m not sure it’s a seismic sensor either – I’d assume it’s a signal. Else you could possibly shake the machine for free drinks.

The Japanese vending machine culture is incredible. Some of them have a built in microwave so they can dispense precooked meals.

In North America, Pillbillies will just steal vending machines with trucks.

It’s pretty lame.
