You’re actually the odd one out here. Free refills are nearly universal across the US
Places that limit free refills only say that because people try to abuse the system and load up a gallon container.
Those places, channel your inner boomer and feigning ignorance if you're caught.
Oh my god you made me remember the operation soda steal heist
Same, every place I would assume so if it was self service. The syrup is like, 7 cents for a large drink anyway, it's not like they're going bankrupt if everyone gets a refill on a drink they paid > $1 for
I'm seeing that apparently but yeah, I'm up in Maine close to the border, almost every establishment that has those machines generally also have a sign that says no refill and I really can't think of any place here that advertises refills as free outside of coffee at dine in establishments.
For sit down restaurants, that's truly bizarre. Why would I pay $3.50 for a small glass of soda that's half full of ice unless I'm going to pound 3 of them?
it's 3.50 for a small where you are? holy cow, it's roughly like $1 or $2 here for a normal tall glass. The only place that's really up there in price for soft drinks are fast food establishments like McD which have around 3$ for a large.
Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to restaurants with table service, where you buy the 1 size of soda and it comes in a glass. The small part was my personal judgement. But yeah, Seattle's expensive.
