I would be willing to bet that the water dispenser arm has snapped off. And I know from experience, coke takes FOREVER to send a tech out to fix their machines.

Came to say the exact same thing!
Stupid plastic parts.
bonn2@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Yeah, hey op try looking under where it was, there may still be enough of the arm left to still use it anyways.

Publix needs more money to support their anti-democratic values and candidates. And no, its not just the Publix heiress who helped support January 6th. americandemocracyscorecard.org/publix-super-marke…

Fuckin… Goddamnit. Thanks for letting me know.

They removed the only drink that you can taste the mold in.

This. Those machines are nearly impossible to properly sanitize when you’re NOT underpaid and overworked…
Can’t imagine when they are
finley@lemm.ee 6 months ago
because, if it’s in florida, the water tastes like literal shit which is why nobody wanted it

It’s a good thing you have a free water dispenser at your house and reusable water bottles are a thing.
TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
‘free water dispenser at your house’
You still get a water bill my dude, cheap isn’t free… Also OP is upset at the loss of convenience, not access.
Eyeuhnluuung@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah, I regret adding the “free” part because I didn’t intend my comment to be about cost. But in terms of convenience, is it really so much more inconvenient to bring a reusable water bottle with you to the store? Why add to a landfill by getting a disposable cup every time you go?
Since we’re on the topic of cost though, do you know how much 16oz of water from your tap at home costs on average? 3 one hundredths of a cent. Thats about a penny and a half a year if you go to the grocery store once a week.

You have to wonder what idiot thought this was a good idea. It just means people will grab a soda and not pay for it.
Donjuanme@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or it broke?
NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 6 months ago
That’s probably their argument. They probably thought that by removing the water option, people won’t be able to sneak soda and pretend they were getting free water.
ZeroTwo@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Really sucks for us non soda drinkers. Maybe they think “if we remove the free water, people will spend money on a soda.” Nah. Not me.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I can’t go in get a cup and fill it with water to have a drink while I shop anymore.
You can if you’re brave enough.
Steve@startrek.website 6 months ago
Mine has been broken, if you wiggle it just right it would dispense water. Maybe it’s just broken off?
Btw, naples FL? Identical setup if not

I’ve never seen a Publix with a drink dispenser. Where are these usually?
C0balt_Blu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Usually at the Deli! think there is a combo for a pub sub, drink and chips if I’m not mistaken
electric@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Oh good point, never been to the delis myself. I didn’t realize they had a mini food court, thought it was just a place to buy meats or their sandwiches.
lurch@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
what is the clear thing in the center?
Tower@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Ice dispenser.
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I had look up what a Publix is. Never heard of a grocery stord providing refreshments to shoppers. Is the pop free?
warbond@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Nah, it’s a lunch/deli situation, where you can order a sandwich or get a salad, so they also have soda fountains like this.

Water? You mean that stuff that goes in toilets?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Next you’re going to tell me it has what pants crave.

Don’t be foolish! Of course, we have Gatorade for that.

monster is clearly superior in every way, it gives you the jutters, tastes toxicly sweet, is bubbly, and most importantly isn’t flat.
