They’re not just taking up store space. Retailers say the machines interfere with remodeling plans and expose them to potential safety hazards and liabilities. Some kiosks are hardwired into stores’ electrical systems. Outdoor machines are bolted into the concrete foundations and contain a coolant that is supposed to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner
What hardware could they contain? Probably if you showed up and offered to take em away the stores wouldn’t even mind.
They don’t belong to the stores. They have to get court approval to remove them.
