Using grub as the bootloader doesn’t mean it’s running Linux. Notably, many many pirate copies of Windows 7 use grub, because the standard way to circumvent the Win7 implementation of WGA is to mess with the boot process. Just as likely this thing’s using a, hem, unofficial Windows install.
Its not the GRUB error which is really bad here, but the INSTRUCTIONS at the right side!
What kind of user experience it is, which requires a USER MANUAL to get a damn cigarette?
Actions needed from you: 1. enough money 2. selecting the brand of tobacco
Actions needed from the tobacco machine: 1. give the changes back 2. give the damn cigarette.
They managed to that simple job put a big screen on the machine, and they did an awesome job, so it requires a 7. point USER MANUAL sticked on the machine itself. Thats the failure here.
The grub failure is just the top of the cake. You start laughing when you see it, and you start crying when you read the instructions sticked to the machine…

We have to confess. Black screen of death is even worth than it’s blue brother.

A new weapon in the fight against tobacoo- downright inconvenience.

Is it the bar from St Christopher’s Hostel (aka The Winston)? ;-)

Nope! Some bar on the corner of a street and a square, though I’d be surprised if this was a unique case :-)

It’s not really the cigarette selling mechanism, it’s just a screen that rotates ads.
