Anyone know what kind of relationship does CSTR have with supermarkets? Do they have any kind of contract with them in regards to how long they can stay? I think the big risk in CSTR is in their relationship with the distribution(supermarkets) since if Coinstar starts making alot of $$$ the supermarkets might do it themself or ask for a cut of the revenue. They(supermarkets) profit margin is tight and therefore look for income streams very closely.
