Self Service Soda Fountain = Free Refills? (1 Viewer)

Flashing twelves is funniest thing I read all week. Buzz, you won't sue me if I start using it will you?

 

[Danny Tse]

Totally agreed.

I wonder if that burger joint Kate Stelnick went to had free refills? I wouldn't mind being her "soda boy"

ATM, self checkout, EZ-Pass user here. That's what computers are for, aren't they ? They make life faster and cheaper at the expense of those who are trying to make a living at a job that the computer can do. :wink:
As for the soda refills; like someone else said, the soda is the lowest cost part of the deal (cup/soda/cost of selling it). I say 'go for it'. As a matter of fact, if you plan on taking advantage of the free refills, why buy any size other than a small ?

I actually use Sun Pass here in Fl. but there is a benifit to that not just in time but saved cost of gas waiting in toll lines.

Self Serve w/o a sign = free refills to me.

One thing for sure, if you are used to them in some parts of the country, then you are in for a shock in places like Chicago and NYC. Free Refills don't exist there hardly I've found.

No grits either....:frowning:

There are also some discounts for using it. Some are instant, some require a certain number of times through the toll booth. The first day I used my Sunpass, it saved me $0.25 on the Selmon Expressway. 99 more times and the Sunpass is paid for.

I know this might sound strange but why not ask?

 

[John Alvarez]

Actually I forgot that when the tolls went up that they didn't raise them for sunpass users.

Yeah same here, I use EZ pass and prepass all over as many times as I can use it.

Saves money

And EZ pass is for Commercial vehicles that has scales out on the highway, They weigh the truck in motion and if I am not heavy they I get a green light in my truck with a little box that has 3 lights on it

Green means you can go on wothout entering the scalehouse

Red means come into and get reweighed

Yellow the hated one means: stop and get ready to be inspected :frowning:

But I never had a yellow light and usually I just breeze right past the chicken house

But I do get a red light once in a while.

But for the most part I do save time and money with both gadgets in the cab of my truck

The Subway near where I work has a 25 cent refill sign on the self-serve soda fountain. They added that maybe 6 months after they opened.

As for the self-serve grocery checkout lanes, they don't seem to be that much quicker. Some days they are, but often you can get shorter lines by going to a cashier.
