An idea a day:
71. Install vending machine of home-essentails in lifts of buliding in estates.
The vending machines could be selling juices/ cigarettes/ snacks/ pills/ condoms/ masks, just like those essentials in7-11.

The lift vending machine could shorten the distance between users and commodities, people just have to walk in the lift, without walking out, they could buy the things they need. In mid-night while the traffic isnt big, you could hold the open door button and buy thing at the same time, then after you get the products, you could walk back at the shortest time and distance. This could only be possible if every floors would have a machine, the lift-vending machine could safe the number.

Lifts are a confined area that you will have a close encounter at least 2 times a day. Without any thing to do while waiting inside a lift, users could easily be attracted to the machine and buy things. This is a advantage over putting machine in the lobby, for which people may have to detour, in order to approach it.

Buying inside the lift could also provide privacy in non-peak hours, as only few need travel in lifts. In this way, you could buy these little things without dressing and makeuping, reducing inconvenience.
