      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.

      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.

      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
