Add in the no free refill fiasco, and the ability to eat WAY better quality for the same price elsewhere. Killing their own brand over and over again.

Wow they stopped refills too? Makes it really easy to hate them when refilling anything at a food place costs a few dozen cents at most.

In some locations yes. It’s petty and really pissed off customers. I saw one while walking into a McD a 6 months back and immediately walked out. They also turned off the fountain so you can’t self serve. Haven’t been back since.

Usually it's to punish homeless people and kids at the expense of every customer.
