OK, more people are doing delivery, so the self serve fountain
drinks wouldn't be used. But what of those people who still dine in
the restaurant?
If people are stealing drinks, deal with each person as it
happens.
Fountain drinks are one of the biggest profit makers. Each glass
costs a few cents. Sure, each refill reduces the overall profit, but
is it really enough to matter?

Some places charge 25 cents for refills, or at least they once did. It
could still be behind the counter even if it's free to refill.

On the positive side, maybe people will drink less soda?

I was fuming mad back in the 90's when they put them in,
but now I think
I'll miss them,
the
only issue with self-serve soda is that the employee's
are too retarded
to rememeber to hand you yuor
cup.
Oh and how will this work with self-serve kiosk's,
when the store is only
tahking
"to-go" orders, IOW, when the employee's
are too lazy to wash the
tray's
and just serve the food in a bag and tell you you can sit down, but
then they never wash the table's.

Last I knew, and it has been a long time, McDonald's offered
free refills. I don't know if this will remain with the removal of
the self serve dispensers.
Chick-fil-a hides all its drink dispensers behind the counter but
will still
refill for free if you take your cup up and ask for one.
