I was at a restaurant the other day, and noticed on the menu that soft drink refills were 50 cents. I don't know if the restaurant actually does that, because neither I nor my mom had a drink. And even if we had, neither of us drinks enough with a meal that we'd need a refill anyway. *chuckle*
My question, though, is I thought most restaurants quit charging for refills? But maybe I'm wrong. All I know is that whenever I go to a chain/franchise type place, like Denny's, Bakers Square, Chili's, Olive Garden, Applebee's, etc., they NEVER charge for soft drink refills.
The restaurant I was at was a "mom and pop" place, so maybe things are different in establishments like that. I dunno. It just seems kind of cheap, in my mind, to charge a diner extra to refill their glass with something that's such an immensely high-profit margin item anyway. (Years ago I used to work in food service, so I know! *grin*)
Just wondering....
