    How does removing drink fountains make anything more consistent? I’d be shocked if they got rid of them in the back and switched to cans or bottles. Seems like a blatant grab to get more money from consumers for something that is by far the cheapest cost thing on the menu.

      Consistent between company owned stores and franchise stores, so that neither will have self serve drinks. In other words, they’re lowering all stores to equally bad experience.

        Guess if you don’t eat in-store anyway it doesn’t matter. Wonder what the ratio is of eat-in vs take-out is.

      Cans/bottles take up too much space compared to a plastic bag of concentrated stuff hooked up to a fountain.

      they can water your drink down with ice if they control the dispenser.
