That doesn't explain why they'd have packet bins out instead. Packets are expensive compared to bulk ketchup, and it's a lot easier to stuff packets into your pockets than to meaningfully steal liquid ketchup.

The more likely thing is that sit-ins are becoming a smaller and smaller share of customers so amenities specially catered to them are just not worth the cost of bothering to maintain, particularly the labor cost. A single wagie hour spent on all the tasks required to keep a ketchup pump stocked up and clean all the time costs McDonalds more than multiple gallons of ketchup.

I downloaded a GPS spoofer app just to trick McDonalds into making my order before I get there. It's well worth the trouble since the app always has good offers on it like $1 large fries.
I think they do it that way to prove you're serious, because you're not charged until you pick up the order, but that just raises the question of why they charge like that.
