| Saw one of them at a local restaurant -- brings back fond memories of a summer church camp I attended as a kid one year; they had a fountain machine in the chow hall, and we all made "suicides" with them... basically everything the machine could put out mixed in a cup... LOL |

That machine has stuff I never knew existed.  The Coke Museum and the Coke Station at EPCOT have their world products, including dozens more delicious Fantas, a wonderful Japanese lemon soda I want here, and a horrific Italian bitter that makes people spit. |

They are fucking filthy. Everyone touches them, then eats their food. I have been to a couple placed that have them, and never noticed anyone wash their hands after touching it. At least you're getting your own drink. I stopped going to Panera after I saw an employee take containers out of an insulated pack in a diaper bag that looked like breast milk and formula powder, use one of the counter blenders, then go in the back with it, presumably to feed their spawn.

They need a way to purge the line between selections. The wait for technology averse people to figure out how to work it and make up their mind can be a bit much. It's like self checkout. Some people stare at the screen like it holds the mysteries of the universe. I tend to try to scan & push buttons faster than the machine allows, and end up taking as much time as they do.

I fucking hate them. Between the perplexed old folks and the 10 year olds making vanilla cherry chocolate Mr. Pibb Sprite lemonade, it's a 20 minute wait to get a damn Coke.  When there's no line they're great, but overall society is too g'damned dumb/indecisive for these kinda choices in a wait your turn environ. |

Those machines are bullshit. A line 3 deep will have you there 5 minutes and everything tastes like fucking diet. Plus the cartridges are very small. Almost everytime I go to Firehouse I see them servicing the machine while people stand there and wait. Stupid ass machine. |

Almost as bad an an airport kiosk where airline employees are paid to stand around to watch people get flustered before they step in to help. |
