I think the most i've spent on a dinner was 100 bucks and I still drank water.

Ordering soda at a restaurant in the first place, and then getting upset to have to pay another dollar for a refill, makes you a little baby.

The only place that would happen at is intentionally overpriced to keep out people like you.

It's called luxury costs, and it's you're own fault for showing up at a place you don't belong.

>> No.7759144

There are times when this has upset me as well. If I'm eating fast food or at a place with nasty tasty tap that is casual, I'll get a soda. Paying 2~ dollars for a single can is ridiculous, as is places like OP describes. I've seen this primarly in the LA/OC area when I lived there. It'd be 25-75 cents for a refill in a lot of fast food places. Ridiculous.

Nah! Even places like fucking Denny's charge you like 3.50 for a glass of OJ, and while they might come by with a pitcher and ask you if you want more, they won't throw in they're going to charge you for an extra one. Assholes.

I bring some MRE heating elements with me pretty much wherever I go. If I go out to eat, I just boil some of the free water that they give you with my MRE heater and throw in some rosehips that I have in my pocket. Awesome free hot tea, baby!

If they catch you, just say you didn't realize you're not allowed refills.
