No, sometimes he's uses the bathroom as well, then picks up some napkins for the car!

I don't drink pop anymore, but I would. Nobody in the world has ever cared, since 5 cents is a small price to pay for customer loyalty.
Do people seriously never go into McDonald's to pee? Sometimes you gotta go, and there's no choice. I'm not buying a hamburger to pee.No, sometimes he's uses the bathroom as well, then picks up some napkins for the car!
Oh, it gets worse, I'm also a "condo-raider", extra Ketchup, mustard, cutlery, napkins what have you. My favorite target is Racetrack, I'll buy a $1.29 cheeseburger then head to their well-stocked condiment bar for a foraging, now I've got enough of everything to last me the week no matter what kind of leftovers I bring to work. To my coworkers I'm a godsend, when they be needing a condiment they come see me, I should start charging really..
There is only 1 rule, and I thought it was universally known: Make sure you sneeze all over the spouts, and rub them with your hands after using the restroom and not washing.
Sheesh, I bet you have no idea what to do at a salad bar or buffet either...

As many times as you reasonably can in the time frame it takes you to eat and have a small conversation then go. You can't order a fry and drink then go sit down with your friends for 5 hours and have like 30 pops. Then again, I don't think they'd do anything unless lot of people started doing it. The pop in that machine probably cost's them what 10 of them bring in revenue when different customers buy one.
We were bad in high school. I remember a hot 100 deg day. 6 of us went into KFC bought 6 people's worth of meals but it was so hot we bought 1 XL drink and I remember passing it around. We refilled twice in a matter of 3 minutes simply because we were so hot and dehydrated. Then they yelled at us. So we stopped.

First, you must stare at the soda machine for five minutes because you've never seen the flavors offered before.
Second, after you've selected your flavor(s) you must fill the cup with ice.
Third, you must dump out half the ice and occasionally add a little more.
Fourth, you must fill your cup with your chosen soda unless it's too carbonated, in which case you switch to flavor two.
Fifth, you taste the soda and make a face.* (*note) making a face apparently signifies neither good or bad.
Sixth, in the case the face you made meant it was actually bad, you dump it out and start over.
Seventh, in the situation where your favorite soda is out of syrup or carbonation, under no case will you notify management. The corollary also works, you notify management every time you come in that the soda doesn't 'taste' right.
Eighth, after finally receiving your filled drink you must choose the wrong size lid (even though they're labeled) and discard the lids that don't fit on the counter.
Ninth, after finding the correct size lid, you try multiple times to stab a straw through the lid, leaving the wrappers and bent straws from unsuccessful tries on the counter (even though there is a trash receptacle inches away)
Tenth, because of the high tech involved and the temperamental nature of soda dispensers, you must use at least 25 napkins to try to clean up your mess and then leave them on the counter (see number 9).

I had a friend that would go into 7-11 with a MASSIVE cup that was way bigger than their largest size and get them to charge him their largest size.
As for refills, I'd say just take as much of your fill as you feel comfortable with. The cost for filling a cup is usually fractions of a cent, so realistically you'd have to spend a very long time and several full bladders before you came close to putting any dent into the proprietors profits. You'd probably have more trouble taking more soda than the cup is actually worth.
Most people aren't going to be paid enough or care to get into an argument with a customer over them taking too many refills. Management will put out a sign if they want to limit you, so just take your fill.

Except that this is dishonest, and stealing. I have morals.
Here's one: If your lips touched the glass, the glass better not touch the fountain machine!

what about us who get refills of diet coke or the light lemonade where if you drank a gallon it would add up to a whopping 80 calories?
That would take alot because soda's have such high profit margins. Even at $.99/44oz.
Most places still charge $1.49-$2.00 for 32oz. Even if you stay there all day getting refills, you wouldn't be able to drink $2.00 worth.

lol... i thought i might be banned for being a cheapass (it's happened before). we downed 3 XL drinks in 3 minutes amongst 6 people. I thought that was insane.No, you weren't.
Anyway we shared drinks maybe once or twice after entering college (then again my HS friends and I don't meet up that often), but ever since we all started making money I think no one really goes crazy with shared drinks and massive refills. Now I feel like we throw too much money away at the bar... lol

The very foundation of a great society, cheating and stealing at the first opportunity. :thumbsdown:
