Coca-Cola Amatil can deliver full priced retail cans, same as you find
in Cash&Carry, as they do for other vending machines on campus. The
lease contract for other machines says that you won't stock it with
anything else.

However, as we own our machine, we can stock it with cheap multipack
cans of any brand from the supermarket, at nearly half the cost. This
isn't much of a chore; and there's more than enough margin to pay people
for their time, or petrol money, or a free drink if they go and stock
up for the club.
