Those automated drink machines have been around for a couple years anyway.
With the tanked economy, Mcdonalds has seen a huge uptick in sales because people are "eating out" at the cheap fast food place instead of the fancy restaurant to save money. More people are using the drive-thru instead of eating inside too.
Haven't you noticed that most Mcdonalds now have TWO drive-thru lanes to place your order now?
