Little Ceasers refill policy

I work in a place where Little Ceasers is located as well. I eat there often and usually get a cup of refillable soda. Anyhow I went to go refill my cup and the lady said "You know you have to pay $.99 cents for that, right?" And I was like WTF. I've always just bought it in the morning and as the day goes by just refill it.

I usually give these people discounts on items they purchase from me such as housings and flashing keypads and lights.

Oh well I know I'll get flamed because I'm not entitled to those refills outside of the restaurant, but who cares. You guys rock.

Wow how cheap are you? 😉
 
Like they ^ said, you don't have a right to a refill if you have left the store, but if you are giving them discounts I think it would be nice of them to cut you some slack. Otherwise, cut them off!

Well if you have become accustomed to getting refills for free then I think you should be able to sue them. It is their fault for allowing you to become addicted to free refills, and they should not be able to cut you off whenever they feel like it.
 
You can't get refills once you leave the establishment, unless you are employed I believe.

Chuck E. Cheese pizza rulz.
 
What don't you get ??
Its refillable as long as you are still eating in the establishment.

Your comment disturb me...." I've always just bought it in the morning and as the day goes by just refill it."
Seriously, why don't yoy buy a drink at 7-11 in the morning and stop by there in the afternoon and "just" refill it.

Sorry to be so harsh but I used to run a McDonalds inside a Wal-mart and I get into so many arguments with people who buys a soda and refill drinks over and over. It was extremely hard to me to make my food cost goal with my soda yield being so low.
 
Each refill costs a fraction of a cent. I know that's probably besides the point. But if this dude is giving discounts on keypads and stuff (let's assume that the discount is more than a dollar) then he's already paid for those refills!

I am the master of logic!

LOL......listen to you guys talk cracks me up.
If everyone thinks like you guys, every business woud fail.
I mean do you realize that business stays in business because they are profitable.

If I had a business that just sold soda......boy, I sure would be making a hugh % per dollar but then again, no one would be coming in just for the sada would they ????

A 21oz soda cost McDonalds $.14, 32oz about $.20 and 16oz about $.11(this includes the cost of the cups)
We sell the 16oz for $.99.
So even if you were to refill the 16oz x3 times, we still would be making $.63 on the dollar.
But then again, like I said we don't just sell sodas, other food costs are significant higher.

Please let me give you a rundown of how a restaurant stays in business...(as in this case, Mcdonalds).

28%- This is typically food costs, includes paper products associate with food.
28%- Labor. this is only for what are paid for people in a particular store.
11%- Supplies, services, etc...

32-33% PAC(profit after controllables). This is the profit minus the 28%, 28% and 11%.
This PAC number is what we store managers are judged by since these are expenses that we(as store managers) can control.

With this 32% PAC, we then have to subtract such things as rent, franchise fees, advertising, depreciation....

So we are end up with about 5-10% profits after operations.
At the end we also take this 5-10% profits and subtract administrative cost...(you know accoutants, our president, vice, supervisors, secretary...etc...)
Believe or not many of our restaurants lose money on slow months.

So basically, sodas are our lowest food cost which in turn help us on some of the other higher food cost.
Next time when you keep coming back to get that refill, or fill up soda with that "water cup", you are basically stealing from a business that trying to stay in business.

 
lol that's pretty funny... i can just imagine this guy just innocently stopping by to refill as the day goes on 😛

This may be a radical concept:
The people who run Little Caesars want and need to earn a living so they have to charge you for their products.
 
that's the dumbest thing i've heard today.

yes you were right that you were gonna get flamed.

lol imagine somebody just walks in there with a cup and refills it and walks out LOL!
