its cost efficient until the damn thing breaks, the old fountain stations start clogging all the damn time eventually.

But when these fuckers break and you don't have the repair built into your usage agreement, fuck you get raped on the bill.

oh, and fuck the old people who stand at it for 5 minutes trying to figure it out. And the 10 year olds who want a little bit of every god damned thing on the menu

I can't tell you how many times i've seen an elderly couple staring at the thing like its a nuclear reactor. After they figure out how to get ice they usually go to the water dispenser or tea next to it.

Even worse is the machines that have been in use for a while require a LOT of pressure to select something on the screen.

And yeah, no matter what snowflake soda you make, its always going to taste a little weird. Cherry mello yellow is awful.

That isn't the machine's fault, it's the retarded employees who aren't performing basic maintenance. Request a manager to get someone to clean it, as they should be doing. This is not maintenance exclusive to these machines either, the old ones required the same maintenance for the same problems with the same results.
D)if anything breaks inside it or the software glitches the whole drink station is down
I haven't seen it happen so it can't be a common issue, but I assume when it does the restaurant will have it fixed ASAP. For this reason most restaurants that use these things probably have two or three set up at a time.

The vast selection of drinks outweighs what few issues the machine might bring up, in my opinion.

I remember it being a pain to make graveyard drinks with. Some of us just want to drink a little bit of everything at once and don't want to have to go through a bunch of menus.

Old people are going to be a pain in the ass no matter fucking what, the way I see it.

They're often picky, demanding, neurotic, and take forever to both order and pay for their meal regardless of how many other patrons they may be inconveniencing - i.e. by fishing around in their purse for ten fucking minutes trying to find that one dime so they don't have to break a five. I hate that shit.

Again, it's fucking stupid. You did not have to do this on the standard dispensing machines.

1.) Increases wait times
2.) Software glitches
3.) Less energy efficient
4.) Touch screen increases the chances of spreading fecal matter and disease
5.) If the machine breaks, youre fucked.

It's a giant regression. What's the trade off? So some fatass can mix sugary grape flavoring into his Dr.Pepper?
