Model Automat Aka The Age Of The Robot (1968)

A fully automatic hotel room in London. There is a dispenser that provides you with everything that you need.
M/Ss on a wintery day as a red sports car drives in to the Master Robert Motel near London Airport; a young couple get out of the car and check in at the reception inside; the receptionist flicks a switch on a board to turn on the room service automat.
In the hotel room a man is filling a kind of vending machine with packets and bottles of food and drink; he leaves as the couple come in. Various shots show the man putting a red key into the 'Quickmaid' and pressing buttons to receive some cans of drink and a packet of peanuts from a flap at the base of the machine. He takes some ice from a little fridge and takes the drinks and nuts to the girl on the sofa.
At bedtime the girl (in a white nightie and negligee) gets some Colgate toothpaste from the machine; the man gets some cigarettes and a book, 'The Dirty Dozen' from the Quickmaid, then settles down in bed to smoke and read.
Note: great story for illustrating modern automation and the "serve yourself movement". Good for illustrating businessmen and honeymoon couples in hotels / motels. Good stuff about the "mini bar" - narrator observes: "just sit and think about the things you'd like - and forget you have to pay at the end." I know the feeling!
Cuts exist - see separate record.

Third why is the wending machine guy stocking up before the guest come into the room. Fourth although they came to a motel they never brought clothes with them. Fifth simply out of no where they get changed to PJs. Seriously there's more.

Maybe they did this just for the film but maybe the room wasn’t fully ready but just needed to restock the machine 4. Possibly they were staying there for just one night for a rest so they left everything in the car, but again they changed into PJs so there was definitely stuff done off scene

    Nothing to do with stealing everything, because then you'll just be billed for it. What people did with the manual mini-bars is to drink the soda then replace it with something they bought off the street before housekeeping notices. The modern electronic sensor system fixes that by instantly billing anything removed.
