    I work in a restaurant and ever since COVID the health inspector has been SUPER cautious about our soda machine. We run a clean ship but it’s always the first thing they look at, and they go over it with a fine tooth comb.

        This is 100% about pinching pennies. Gotta find new ways to post those “record breaking profits” every year.

          McDonalds isn’t really a fast food company. McDonalds makes most of it’s money via real estate investment. The suckers who open franchise locations are the only ones who care about pinching pennies on food and drink.

          Well if they don’t make record breaking profits they won’t be useful to investors on the stock market and thats the real game

      Even before covid the soda fountain was the thing they could get. I remember that being a big target back when I worked fast food 20 years ago.

      That’s crazy, you literally push the cup against the trigger. Flesh doesn’t even need to touch it!

      The lid/straw area, however…
