McDonald’s is transitioning away from self-serve beverage stations and some locations may start to charge for refills that were once free.
The fast food giant will slowly remove self-serve beverage stations – fountain drink dispensers – and be completely rid of the stations by 2032.
The change, a representative for McDonald’s told CBS News via email, is intended to make customer experiences consistent no matter where you order – on the app, in the drive-thru, in the restaurant or other methods.
Without the drink dispensers, in-restaurant customers can’t pour themselves their own drinks – and individual franchises have the power to decide if they will charge for refills, the McDonald’s rep said.
