Very few restaurants have them (especially those without bars), and the ones that do never clean the pump head so it’s always covered in dirt and bacteria. At least I know that the soda fountain nozzle(s) gets cleaned nightly at most restaurants. But nobody ever seems to sanitize the flavor pumps.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen them at restaurants, but I have seen them at convenience stores a ton. Why they didn’t have the flavor shots has always confused me, because that has been the difference between me getting a soda and not.
Plastic pumps separate from the fountain? I’ve seen them once or twice but I couldn’t name a chain that I’ve been to which has those. But also you’d have to know the ideal ratio of syrup to base soda rather than have it pre-mixed.
Counter argument: Vanilla Coke
Also being able to get anything in diet instead of just one or two things.
Or being able to get nothing as diet/zero because they never replace the non-hfcs BIBs.
Half of restaurants seem to forget what backup is when they get these machines.
Or like 3 different nonstandard fruit flavored sprites. At once
Second counter argument: peach sprite
Do you not have those syrup things? Pretty much every gas station has one.

One pump or two, depending on preference.
We also have some built in to the machine, and I’ve seen it right next to the machine as well as a separate pump.
