There's a hierarchy

Why did he need more than 1 or 2 pairs of salt and pepper shakers though? Why did Mcdonalds need to replace them every month instead of refilling them?

The first 3 pictures are the same

The C in the first model name stands for "colored"

Yeah no judgement for being frugal at McD's expense. 1) Fuck McD's, and 2) Do what to gotta do. There was a point in my life where I got meals from the condiment station at a college cafeteria. They had free ketchup, and a hot water dispenser thing for making tea, so I'd make 'tomato soup' by making myself a bowl of hot ketchup water. Couple handfuls of a single package saltines, and there's lunch. Life sucks when you can't afford anything, but it does make you become pretty creative when it comes to saving money.

I’m going to take a guess that throwing away little cheap plastic shakers each month costs less than paying a person to clean and refill them.

So into the landfill they flow!

[sterile_technique@lemmy.world]

iirc, they were those plastic shakers that didn't actually have a way to get into them - nothing to unscrew to refill it. They were designed to be used until empty, then discarded and replaced.

Public high school in a sketchy area. You'll see some things.

Ah, you've never used the LMABF8

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

Oh yeah the fucking tanbark.

I do MEP design for commercial buildings in the US. If a job ever shows "EWC", I don't ask for specs, I assume the EZH2O until either the job goes out with that spec, or the client directly refuses to use that model.

Anything less, is uncivilized.

I think it's probably because people in North America generally really like cold water. Virtually every restaraunt will serve all their drinks with ice cubes. I personally find ice-cold water be rather unpleasant, maybe except when it's 30°C outside. These water fountains will refrigerate the water before it's despensed and they have a solenoid to control the water flow, meaning it takes very little force to activate.

The second one reminds me of elementary school because we had exactly that model.

I've seen the EZS8L with a spout on top for us bottle filling homies. ️

[openstars@piefed.social]

There's always Reddit for that.:-P

[ifitwasuptome@lemmy.ca]

So where do the white people drink from?

[toynbee@lemmy.world]

I think we had the third, but I pretty distinctly remember there being a large metal "kachunk" bar like the ones they put on swinging fire doors. Maybe it wasn't this brand.

[sterile_technique@lemmy.world]

I sincerely wish I didn't believe me either.

LMABF8 spits straight ice water.
Can't be beat.

[trainguyrom@reddthat.com]

I'm a be real, I didn't know I needed to know about the models of water fountains I see in public spaces but now its tickled my autism and I just need to know more. Big water fountain got their money's worth I think...
