A machine for dispensing substantially cylindrical items such as bottles, cans and containers of various shapes and sizes without making special adaptations to the machine. The machine includes a storage cabinet having a plurality of storage racks supported therein each of which includes a plurality of storage tracks formed by first and second elongate planar surfaces which are disposed substantially perpendicular to each other and which are inclined in a downwardly direction from the back of the storage rack toward the front of the storage rack. Each of the elongate planar surfaces is disposed at an acute angle to a horizontal plane disposed substantially parallel to the ground and each of the storage tracks is operable to support a plurality of items to be dispensed with the bottom surface of the items supported on one of the first and second elongate planar surfaces and a side cylindrical surface of the item being rollingly supported on the other of the first and second elongate planar surfaces.
