Dreamland Durability

We are astounished by the poor quality of nowadays products. Everything is supposed to be so wonderfully easy. You take your plastic card with your money on it, plug it into the next beverages machine and enjoy a cold bottle of some well known brand.
Whatever, that is not the case. Upon approaching this machine you are about to decide wether it is worth waiting in the line or finding another one. You decide it is worth it and so you wait, daydreaming about an island surrounded by miles of fresh water. Finally you get to choose your drink, only to find out that the quick card slot doesnt seem to recognize that you inserted your card. Okay probably the chip is damaged. Out and in. No. hmmm. You rub the chip with your fingers, with your trousers. In - no - out. You look back right into the next ones angry face. Okay... coins. Wait.. no coins?
