    They just remodeled my local McDonald’s. No Soda machine. Now you have to beg for refills. It’s not the first McDonald’s I’ve seen this happen to this year.

    Weird with so many other fast food places leaning into the Coca-Cola multiverse of flavors machine.

      Depends what ZIP code OP lives in. I notice a significant difference in the way the same brand will treat it's customers in my area vs. other parts of town like where I grew up. Poorer areas are treated like children or criminals by default.

      I'm pretty sure those things have RFID chip readers to monitor and limit your number of refills. I'm only hedging because it's been so long since I ate in one of those dining rooms

        idk. TBH, I'm basically a hermit and haven't been inside a fast food restaurant in quite some time. The few I've dealt with haven't had RFID, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been added since. I'm sure they will eventually, if not already.
