Self-serve fountain drink stations at McDonald’s are going away.  The popular fast-food chain is phasing out the soda machines across the U.S.  The company explained, “McDonald’s will be transitioning away from self-serve beverage stations in dining rooms across the U.S. by 2032. This change is intended to create a consistent experience for both customers and crew across all ordering points.”  The news comes as fewer customers visit the dining room, opting instead for take-out or digital orders.
