McD*n*ld’s is dropping its self-serve soft drinks and customers are expressing their dismay.<\/p>\n

“How am I going to mix 60 ml of every single soda into one cup to create one SuperDrink.” said a Facebook comment. “This is a tremendous loss.”<\/p>\n

The fast-food chain told franchisees that it would retire self-serve drink stations by 2032, In place of the stations, employees will use automated beverage systems to fill drinks and customers must ask for refills at the counter.<\/p>\n

Beverage refills will still be available for free “at the discretion of individual restaurant owner\/operators,” the company told Business Insider.<\/p>\n

“It’s a end of a era,” wrote one commenter. “When I’m old I’ll be like kids in my day you used to be able to go to McD*n*ld’s and serve your own drinks and refill them as many times as you wanted.”<\/p>\n

OP’s note: Although this article doesn’t mention it, it’s likely other fast food places will follow suit.<\/p>\n
