My apologies, i spaced the ID part. I dont know about that for sure, but from i can find the machine itself doesnt have and ID slot. When you first register, you present the bartender/budtender your ID and they enter your info into the system, then they scan your vein print to attach it to that profile. After that, you can just walk in and scan your print to access the machine in the future.
I dont feel it was meant to replace an employee, just help cut down on BS. I have my medical card, and i can tell you people ask alot of questions to the budtenders. I usually use Leafly and order my meds ahead of time so i can just walk in and walk out. With an AGM, you can post the machines contents in a different section of the ordering platform and then whoever orders can just walk up to the AGM, pick up and walk out. There are people who just got their cards and have alot of questions about the medicine, the terpenes present, the strengths, what ailments it helps with, etc..
