Hey Y'all,
So Sprinkles has this Cupcake ATM that just opened this March and operates 24/7 (they have staff restocking it at the back), and I first heard about it @ RocketNews24 (a really awesome website!), so I just had to check it out. I took snapshots of how the ATM works from someone else operating it as I panicked during my turn (pics of this below). The review on the cupcakes will follow (one 3, and three solid 2+'s across the board BTW):

Press the '+' button to select the no. of cupcakes you want of that flavor and the next screen will prompt you for payment |

And the door of miracles opens shortly |

Quick! Snatch that box before the trap door shuts close! |

Whew! That was close... j/k, the small print at the top says the door will reopen if the cupcake has not been picked up; still, I wouldn't put it to the test... The 'pro' video here: www.sprinkles.com/cupcake-atm |

Ginger Lemon: Spiced ginger cake w lemon cream cheese frosting - 2+ J's comment > loved the strawberry so much that we went into the store for 3 more, yes three more cupcakes after dinner (well All'Onda was kinda a bust we reasoned, so we had to cheer up somehow...); ginger flavor not too strong, but definitely present, and balanced well w the lemon |

Extra Comment
FYI, the cupcakes in the ATM are $4.25 and the ones inside are $3.75, exact same cupcakes, but the $0.50 is for play value.
