charged refills of fountain drinks is just pure exploitative robbery.
Comment on I'm doing my part
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 8 hours agoI went to a fancy restaurant recently, the kind that charges $15 for a side salad and $30 for a plate of noodles, and the straw that broke the camels back for me was that she charged me $3 for every refill of the 12 oz of soda they give you.

Yeah like this is supposed to be an upscale restaurant but they’re acting like a beggar on the street. They even had the gall to charge the customer for the 3% credit card fee. I’m supposed to spend $70 a head but their acting can’t afford a $3 fee for the table. Unforgivable lol

I think larger merchants can negotiate lower swipe rates, but even 3% means they are getting more from the charge than the transaction costs them.

It’s essentially banned in Vegas because cocktail waitstaff would riot.

I went to a diner recently and they had posted signs that they are going to start charging for refills after the 2nd one
