Coke machines taking debit? Brilliant!

From ChannelCincinnati:

"PHILADELPHIA -- Coming soon to some vending machines: Coke on credit.
"It will soon be possible to use a credit card to buy a soda at 1,000 Coca-Cola vending machines in the Philadelphia area.
"Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Co. is rolling out the MasterCard PayPass "contactless" payment system next week.
"The nation's fourth-largest Coca-Cola distributor said Coke machines will use a radio-frequency system developed by USA Technologies Incorporated of Malvern. Consumers will also be able to pay for drinks with traditional magnetic-stripe credit and debit cards."

The only problem I see is overdrawing my account one night during a caffeine attack.
