Ok I have been filling up my own reusable water bottle at Free Refill soda stations all over the state of South Carolina for like 3 years and today was the first time ever told me I couldn’t.

I fill up like 80% ice so it stays cold and then go Unsweetend Tea because I need a sugarless beverage that contains no sweeteners.

Wendy’s, Burger King, KFC, Hardy’s YOU NAME IT never had so much a blink.

Today a cashier of the McDonald’s in town, a very old lady, told me I “couldn’t do that”. I was already finished and wasn’t gonna dump it out so I just, y’know, left.

Folks are you paying for the cup or are you paying for the beverage? What does “Free Refill” really mean? Is this a victimless crime (accounting for the absolute stone cold FACT that most of the unsweetened tea is destined for a kitchen drain at the end of the night)? Was this woman just way too invested in her cashier position at a fast-food joint at Noon? Or have I just been getting away with an incredibly dumb crime for 3 years and only now have my McNuggets come home to roost?

For reference I am drinking the tea now it is cold.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.
Did you pay for a drink and decline the cup or are you literally stealing?

Not that stealing from multibillion corporations is wrong... but it is stealing.

hahahahaha wait you thought 'free refills' meant you could take any container in off the street and fill it and leave without buying anything. hey maybe if you bring a really big container you can start your own competing soda business.

RCP she didn’t stop anything and neither can any fast food employee.

Check this out: you can ask for a cup for water then fill it with any beverage you want. I typically choose water or unsweetened ice tea. But you can choose anything your heart desires even soda.

You're not stealing from a multibillion dollar corporation, you're stealing from the managers that need to make food cost in order to buy birthday presents for their kids.

Just pay for a drink you cheap gently caress.

You are “stealing” less than a penny every time you do this so don’t listen to the morons acting like you’re dining and dashing

Sounds like a bad business plan if shrink on drinks causes the hypothetical franchise owner/location manager to make that type of sacrifice.

Not related to your problem OP but I remember when I was a lad and asked for a drink with no ice thinking I had hacked the system and would get more soda and instead got a cup that was only half filled. I learned a harsh lesson about the true nature of the world that day.

Evidently you're not paying for anything. Not that it matters much to me but yeah that's stealing
