Compass Group USA Inc., doing business as Canteen, has agreed to a $6.94 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that certain vending machines it owns and operates charged customers more than the displayed price for items when purchased with a debit or credit card.
The vending machine settlement benefits consumers who made a purchase from a vending machine owned or operated by Compass Group USA between 2014 and July 9, 2025, who paid with a debit, credit or prepaid card and who were charged more than the price listed for their purchases.
The lawsuit alleged that Canteen charged customers’ credit, debit or prepaid cards more than the displayed prices for items without informing purchasers of an extra charge for using a card, thus breaching its contract terms.
The vending machines at issue are located in several states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
Canteen has not admitted any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay $6.9 million to settle all allegations.
Depending on the number of claimants and funds available, class members will receive between $30 and $360, based on the number of purchases they made.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is Oct. 17, 2025.

I was living in Ocean Park, WA during this time but shopped in Astoria, OR and Warrenton, OR. due to no taxes there. Also, I had medical appointments in Longview and Vancouver, WA. Then for several years I wintered from Nov 1 to April 7th in Yuma, AZ.
Add me please. I have experienced overcharges from Canteen vending machines over the years that I cannot dispute
Add me please
Yessss please Add Me, I use to work at Amazon every time I used the vending machine on break I noticed an up charge just for using my debit card and that’s not right!
