I am so frustrated with this. I have a fairly large park, Good Park rating and Good Scenery rating and about 7000 Guests. I keep getting a notification that "Many Guests are Thirsty" I have gone around my whole park and I have 34 Drink stalls, Most of them are around the entrance or exit of rides and a few are just on busy paths, Yet No one is using most of them. Some are being used but you would think with 7000 guests and most "are Thirsty" that all the stalls would be packed. I also have this issue with the food stalls too. I have many vendors quitting because they do not have enough work to do. However, if I place a Hats, Balloon, or momento stall it it so packed that it causes major jams on my paths. So, I guess my question is, WHY is this happening? Is this a bug or am I doing something completely wrong? Does this need to be fixed? Thanks.
No one uses the Food/Drink Stalls Anymore

hey man,
I dont know where your stalls are but for me they are all at stategic points.
I figured out that the shops should always be at the exit of a ride. If guests waited a long time, they are thirsty and in need to go to bathroom as they exit the ride.
So i have drinks/toilets/gift shops at all my rides exits and food can be here and there. If i get the "look busy" complaint, I put another shop right beside the "busy" one.
I never train my workers and simply replace them if they arent happy or quit.
Teens tend to be more thirsty than other guests, so make sure that you have enought drink shop close to the rides that are for teens
So far, I went up to 4500 guests with no real problems.

Apparently you didn't read his post at all, because he clearly stated all his shops were near the entrance or exit of attractions and in busy locations.
If they're in busy locations, it comes down to how much you're charging. I've noticed that as a park gets bigger there are more guests that will spend all of their money on rides and souvenirs and complain about being thirsty but can't afford to buy drinks.
I personally use restroom/drink/food hubs and rides along the spokes between hubs. Guests will search out food and drink and it's more efficient to train an employee in 1 shop to be very efficient rather than put down a bunch of low traffic shops because of the fixed cost of running the shop.

The first thing I thought of when I read the post was ATM machines. Make sure you have sufficient ATM machines so your peeps can withdrawal more money and be able to buy drinks. I ran into a similar issue on my large park as well until I realized my peeps were just broke from all the fun they were having in my park.

AHHH...ATM's I didnt even think of that. Thanks for the Tip.
No problem at all! I always put ATMs near the busiest rides/shops and it seems to work out well. Especially after winter update with the "gift shop buff", I keep an ATM near any of those. I basically force feed them balloons, burgers, and milkshakes until they withdrawal their children's college funds. lol
