When I got to the window they charged me an extra $12.00 dollars...$4.00 per meal for slightly larger order of fries and drinks! I told the chick that was outrageous and she had that look like she'd heard that response more than once. I have driven off but had people waiting on me to return with food. I'll be eating inside from now one and getting that "water" cup T-Post Tom is talking about...will take me years to get even.

You realize you’ve just outed yourself as the guy who bitches about prices to the cashier of fast food, right?

Another unfortunate victim of the ol' Carl's Jr. Upsize Con.

I thought everybody was hip to that fast-food flimflam.

It’s been 10 years since I have, and I can tell you it more than .05 material per drink.

I think our material cost with cup was around .50-.60 per 32oz soda. That’s what Pepsi charged.

Prefer coke though, but their service out here sucked.m

Beer is a huge profit item.

Pepsi was ripping you off.

I only get soft drinks from the older fountains with mutiple nozzles. you couldn't pay me to use one of those touch-screen kiosks with a single nozzle. those things never get cleaned.

It does for me through the drive through. If I'm paying $1 for a large or a small, I might as well order the big one regardless if I'm going to drink it.

Like someone said earlier, the mark up on pop is so high even at $1 per large they are making like $0.95 profit on it. Then, with the profit margin so high even at $1, when you go to a place like Burger King or Wendy's and they charge you $2.50+ for a large, you wonder how they sleep at night. Probably on a bed of money, that's how.

Went to Panera last night, as I do every Wednesday night, to meet three buddies and solve the world's problems for a couple hours. I ordered the largest drink, as I always do, only because I intended to refill it. After all these years, refilling still seems like cheating to me, so I ask permission before doing so. I don't ask every time I visit an establishment, but I ask the first time and assume that answer for any later visits.

I mean, I’d assume you’re kidding, but you just told us you meet up with your buddies for dinner at Panera once a week.

The others who were at this gathering will all offer affidavits under penalty of felony denying that dinner even happened.

I had a big drink. I like big drinks.

Why don't they do this with beer?

I rarely drink a soda when I go out to eat. If they don’t carry fresh brewed tea I usually opt for water. TBH I would rather have milk than a soda if it came down to it.

SOMETHING will take us all out. Might as well go out enjoying what you do, right?

If it comes down to it, I'd rather get taken down by soda than the Viet Cong. It's less heroic, but more satisfying.

The Viet Cong lack carbonation, too.
