After watching a video of a person playing with a MacDonald's kiosk, I started to do the same with equipment I found at different places.
One food court had kiosks with Windows and complete access to the Internet. Somebody could download malware and steal credit card data. Every time I used one, I turned it off or left a message on the screen. Eventually they started running it in kiosk mode.
Another was a parking kiosk. It was never hardened. I guess criminals haven't caught on to this yet.
The third was an interactive display for a brand of beer. This one wasn't going to cause any harm, but I liked to leave Notepad open with "Drink water" on it. Eventually they turned it off. That's one way to fix it, I guess.

I don't know the details of how the parking kiosks near me are setup, but I can only assume they're put together really poorly because once, after mashing buttons in frustration, it started refunding me for tickets that I'd not purchased. You'd have thought "Don't give money to random passers by" would have been fairly high on the list of requirements, but there we are.
