    This thing should go out the same way digital doors did at Walgreens. In the trash.

      Oh man. My old Walgreens had these and I begged the manager at my new store not to let them put them in. They still haven’t made their way over yet, maybe the company realized how absolutely idiotic they are.

      The only reason they wanted them is because when someone wasn’t standing directly in front of them they would play full screen ads for whatever was (supposed to be) inside.

            They’re the worst. The Walgreens near me has them and if they’re not completely broken, the data on the front of them is entirely wrong. You have to stand there with the door open, wasting electricity, just to figure out which drink you want.

          This sounds even more frustrating than digital menu boards that instead of just being digital to be able to update easily rotate screens quickly where you have to wait through multiple cycles to read it.

        I think the glass doors on the refrigerated coolers that were electronic displays that showed you an ideal image of the drink or whatever was supposed to be inside, but you couldn’t see through them to see if there were any actually on the shelf.
