This change happened awhile ago at places where I live, in Canada. Barely noticed it.
Now they bring my drink to my table, instead of me having to awkwardly wait around for the cup so I can fill it up while they bring the food out.
I don't mind it at all, you still get a free refill btw, just gotta ask for it.
Now I know some random kid hasnt gotten their sticky popsicle fingers all over my cup lid or tried to drink straight out of the machine end. I am very much in favor of that.
Your Mcdicks serves you at your table? They tried that years ago out east but it only lasted a few months.
They do indeed, Im in Western Canada. Even when press the to-go button, they ask me if I would prefer table service to check in.
I think its my specific area of my specific city, its a little bit of a nicer corner of the city, and the mcdicks is a little bit more polished and clean. The folks working at them (there's 2 of em) seem to be a bit more engaged.
It might be a franchised chain in this area, so perhaps its the owner of the franchise encouraging it. Either way it works and I enjoy it.
