(NO CHANGES MADE) The article says the window looks out into darkness and does not convey any further information. But presuming no artist of Hopper's caliber creates meaningless detail, what is that blue light, our there in the night just to the left of the bowl? It does not look like a street lamp. Hieronymous ( talk) 21:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Is the Dec 10 addition by User:Kaszeta relevant? Vending machines are everywhere. I think they must be back-fed and contain some non-sandwich, non-candy, perishable food to qualify for comparison to Automats... I never saw these FEBO stores though.
Any good reason why the restaurant in Dark City is described as "Automat like"? I'm no historian on the matter (in fact that would be the only one I've seen :) but that does sound like what is described here, and they did call it an "automat" several times in the movie and it had a big neon sign on the storefront which read "AUTOMAT".
I'm just checking before making a change in case anyone feels it should remain the way it is. Thank you :) 216.228.174.81 06:44, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Speaking of Dark City, I removed the entire "See Also..." section, since the only thing in that section was a note about the Automat in Dark City... which was already listed in the section for "Automats in Fiction".-- Raguleader 23:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
This article uses the past tense improperly, especially since automats still exist. I've converted the lead, but I'll get back to the body later. Night Gyr 04:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Where are these automats-in existence? It should be noted that the recently opened automat in NYC filled a gap of over 15 years. Dogru144 18:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
At least one episode of The Flintstones had a scene in an Automat.
The Franklin Institute used to have an automat in the 1980s, but it was converted to some sort of fast food franchise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.49.154 ( talk) 03:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
In Washington, DC, the Museum of Technology and Industry (or whatever the Museum of American History was called back then) used to have an Automat, also, and it is now some sort of cafeteria.-- 71.203.125.108 ( talk) 00:44, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
An editor removed the "automats in media" section. Which is fine since it was kinda random; while a category for movies featuring an automat would be kinda nice, I'm not gonna put it together. In case anyone wants the content for some reason it's here. -- Akb4 ( talk) 05:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The end of the first paragraph says:
The last paragraph is inconsistent with that:
What other countries are those? In any case, I think these two should be merged into one. – McDutchie ( talk) 01:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Also it seems kinda wrong that the majority of the article is about automats in the united states, then the "By Country" section lists information about them in countries besides the US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.198.132.38 ( talk) 06:05, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
This is listed as a German
loanword, but it isn't in my dictionary; does anyone have a dictionary that does list this?
Otherwise it should go to the "Glossary of German terms" category, at a push.

In The_Out-of-Towners_(1970_film) they pass by a Horn & Hardart a couple times on the way to their hotel. You can even see a poster in the window reading "Eat the country of your choice"...like the one HERE. (totally diff bldg, btw)
Given the rarity of sightings, might it be worth a quick mention under "In popular culture" or the like? Especially given that Neil Simon is quoted in the article.
They are on Park Ave between 39th and 40th in the story...does this correspond to an actual location of an H&H? (can't seem to find a list myself)
And now, I've gotta ask about the one in that PHOTO as well. Can someone ID that location from the subway stop? I must say, that looks NOTHING like a cafeteria there! 209.172.25.43 ( talk) 08:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
There's a new automat restaurant in San Fransisco that is taking off: [1] 74.80.51.7 ( talk) 18:22, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
The automat is a Dutch/German invention, yet the whole first half of the article is about the vending machines in the US. I'm placing it under the "by country" list, because the content has nothing to do with automats around the world at all. SabasNL ( talk) 19:13, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Dear Valella, Thank you reviewing the edit on the automat page. I changed the text few times to make it more neutral with no adversising.Could you please tell me what part would need changing to have the section added to the page? I need to say that I am not sure what part cause problem.
Everything I wrote are neutral facts and even if some part could sound promotional - it only describe the technology advancement of the new automats compared to the old one. I believe this is a main differentiator - and the future of this technology- that readers should know about.
More details would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help. Regards,

Some recent automats in the UK use cutting edge technology and cloud based communications to optimise the management of their products in a cashless society.
. This would need to be supported by an independent and reliable source that supported the text. If the company or its products were notable, then including a wiki-link to the appropriate article might well be acceptable. Please bear in mind that Wikipedia doesn't advertise and anything that reads as if it is an advertisement, almost always is an advertisement. Hope that this helps.
