I think it will have the opposite effect. They just remodeled my local McDonald’s. No Soda machine. Now you have to beg for refills. It’s not the first McDonald’s I’ve seen this happen to this year.

Sure, this one detail is meaningless by itself, but it’s the 1000s of relentless degrading of IRL that are happening across the board, now you have to be diligent about every good experience you remember in the past being replaced with shittier ones in random unpredictable ways.

speaking suburban hangout staples being stripped of any semblance of joy, i got a report from a friend that malls aren’t letting anyone < 18 in without an adult after certain hours in their town.

Depends what ZIP code OP lives in. I notice a significant difference in the way the same brand will treat it’s customers in my area vs. other parts of town like where I grew up. Poorer areas are treated like children or criminals by default.

I’m pretty sure those things have RFID chip readers to monitor and limit your number of refills. I’m only hedging because it’s been so long since I ate in one of those dining rooms
