I fail to see why a 'bar/club' that is as well equipped as Vanilla Unicorn shouldn't have a Smoothie Machine to help with the day-to-day running of the business?
I really don't see the issue. It makes a great addition to any business that sells smoothies (Clubs and restaurants included) And if you think that there should be one in such a business up north then suggest it, I'm sure the dev team would be happy to help with such a small task, something that helps in such a big way. Like I said, there's already a smoothie machine there, it just needs a 'function' adding to it and it doesn't affect anyone else. Vanilla staff would love to add this as a QoL update for Vanilla Unicorn and possibly other businesses that people may think should have one.
With more smoothie machines I hardly think it's going to be a bad thing for the server, if anything it'll give people a easier time 'grafting' as we all know criminals/workers are wanting with more time to roleplay after the 'grafting' is done.
In regards to imbalance or eliminating roleplay that's a bit farfetched if you ask me, the most roleplay anyone would get making smoothies at someone else's business is greeting the customers that might walk in which can happen at any store or speaking to the wall in front of you. Smoothie Making is already a long process as it is, business owners and employees just want something that adds a little bit of quality when it comes to something as simple as making smoothies as a daily occurrence.
