I haven’t seen them in ages over here. Especially since Covid, they disappeared fast!
Comment on McDonald's is getting rid of self-serve drinks and some locations may charge for refills

Don’t care. Self serve machines are basically covered in diarrhea anyway. Everytime I awkwardly and semi-accidentally turn something into a combo I grimace as I use the taps some kid was just wiping their snot on.
Just getting over a brief cold which could’ve easily been caused by using a self-serve tea machine at a habit burger.

man you guys live in some gross areas. im not sure a kid could even reach the nozle in places near me. They tend to be somewhere between 4 or 5 feet off the ground and a kid has to hold the bottom of the cup and use the top of the cup to extend his reach to activate the lever. now messy pop residue all over the counter. that is common.

You tell yourself whatever you need to, but they’ve done studies and those nozzles were almost always covered in poop bacteria from the people using them, the people “cleaning” them or a combo.
