So your pinball example is still invalid, as expected, but laundromat fits this definition IMO.

it doesn't, because nothing is dispensed after payment

OK, now I see you're right.

parcel sending is something different and is wrongly classified under
vending machine (probably by other people whose mother tongue isn't
English).

But parcel receiving also does not include direct payment (at least I was using just a pass code to open), so this would be a strong point for "amenity=parcel_box + parcel_pickup=yes + parcel_mail_in=yes" instead of "amenity=vending_machine + vending=parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in".

So laundry sending/receiving machine may be tagged for example as "amenity=parcel_box + laundry=yes/laundry_service=yes" (special case of parcels) or just "amenity=laundry_box", "amenity=laundry_machine".

I think amenity=photo_booth (which is marked as an exception - instead of vending=photo) is interesting to look closer. It would make sense if we define vending as a service for dispensing _standard_ (serial) consumer goods and photos/parcels/laundry are personal.

BTW: Sorry, Andy, as you see the problem is too general to split the threads.
