Target acquired.

It appears then that McDonald's intent to phase out self-serve soda machines by 2032 is a public safety hazard.

Can't get a refill until you drink the whole thing.

McDonalds is still around? I've stopped going altogether after:

• jacked up all their prices for everything
• removing soda stations so you have to beg for refills
• like seriously any day you're like "well im gonna goto the good mcdonalds" well fuck you they removed the soda machine this week.
• Most restaurants I goto, the Coke Zero, Dr. Pepper, etc. taste pretty much normal. All the McDonalds I know of that haven't removed their soda machines have weird shitty soda. It's not the usual carbonation-out-quick-fix, it's something else. All of their competitors taste normal. Everything I can find on Google is about "Joe Rogan said McDonald's Coke Zero is magically good tasty". Nobody is talking about this. I live in Atlanta, where the fucking Coke Headquarters is. WTF???

They saw McDonald's driving away customers with their new "beg for refills" policy and thought they could one them up.

I've gotten unauthorized refills by hiding cups I found in the trash under my jacket, does that count?
