that’s an individual store problem. it isn’t one at most stores with self-serve fountains.
many mcdonalds even put self-serve cup dispensers next to the self-serve kiosks, which would make it even easier to grab a freebie.
eliminating 1-3 fountains from every store reduces the maintenance part of their coke contract by a not-insignificant amount. that’s the primary motivation here. the somewhat long time frame would be required to accommodate terms of existing contracts and changeovers would happen as those are renewed or renegotiated.
People constantly steal from self-serve fountains (walk in off the street with their own cups), so this is inevitable.
and yet the world was still spinning
Won’t sombebody think of the 0.000000001% of corporate profits being lost to rogue refillers off the streets?
I don’t disagree, but, I mean, this attitude is kinda exactly why they are going away…
The attitude of corporate greed
