McDonald's to Remove Self-serve Beverage Stations in U.S. by 2032

The fast-food chain did not state what factors impacted the decision

Just like a discontinued item, self-serving soda machines inside McDonald's restaurants won't exist 10 years from now.

The slow transition away from beverage stations in dining rooms across the country will be completed by 2032, McDonald's announced. Customers seeking refills will be required to ask at the counter.

"This change is intended to create a consistent experience for both customers and crew across all ordering points, whether that's McDelivery, the app, kiosk, drive-thru or in-restaurant," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY.
