Choose a soda, choose a flavoring to go with it. Want a Vanilla Coke? Diet Cherry Sprite? Grape Dr. Pepper? Etc.

Only ever seen it at one or two places around where I am, get plenty of tourists assuming the place I work at uses it, though. Some get huffy about it.

Meh, I'd believe it. Interactive tech like that doesn't require complicated logic or have insane timing/processing requirements (it's literally just an array of sensors and motors + a screen), so the bar for getting a job like that isn't high. Hell, it's probably easier since most people who are capable of that would rather program something more interesting, like rockets and shit.

I tried to get one for my business so my employees could use it. It works like this:
You cannot buy or even rent the machine. However, if you buy enough syrup from your local Coca Cola sales rep then they might consider loaning you one. It's all about how much syrup you use. The problem is that you need to buy a ridiculous amount of syrup for them to even consider them giving you a small fountain let alone one of those fancy machines.
