the main reason i even go to chains like mcdonalds in the first place is the soda fountain. it's (usually) much better than retail product in bottles or cans.

if i have to wait 10 minutes to maybe (they will have zero incentive to wait on you) get a refill, after already waiting 10-30 minutes for my food in the first place (wait times have gotten really bad the last few years… for "reasons"). i won't even go there anymore at all unless i'm traveling (which i don't really do much of either). the ridiculous and constant price increases already got me down from a once-a-week treat to maybe once every month or two.
