View Poll Results: What is the ethical approach to ordering soft drinks in a self-refill environment? | |||
Always order the smallest size. It's the logical best value and the restaurant knows what it's doing. | 65 | 67.71% | |
Order a medium soda with expectations of getting a refill. It's the compromise that is most fair to both parties in combination. | 19 | 19.79% | |
Order a size that approximates your expected need, even if it means paying more for a large. | 5 | 5.21% | |
Don't order a soda in a self-refill environment. It's too fraught with ethical minefields. | 2 | 2.08% | |
I would need to take a college philosophy course before I can answer this. | 5 | 5.21% | |

Freaking Chipotle. That's the only asshole place I'm boycotting.

I'm a bad man. Bad person all around. I will steal candy from a baby and/or small child.

At Pizza Inn we were allowed to make a free personal pizza for ourselves each shift. As a poor college student, that was the best part of working there. Drinks must have been free too, but I don't remember specifically.

Thought I remembered that as well. It was a good place. I abused the free soda policy so much my boss once told me I was going to make a great alcoholic cause he never saw me without a drink in my hand.

That glass of soda costs them about a penny. They'll be fine

This messes me up more than anything. I don't really need or want a large, but if I'm paying the same price why not. They are making their money regardless.

I had no idea that McDonald's did that. I wonder if that affects the sizes that people order.

I would say both are probably equally as harmful.
Cigarettes that is...

This is a tad off topic...but anyone ever upsize an order at Carls Jr? Here in Phoenix, I went through the drive thru...ordered 3 meals and they asked me if I wanted to "upsize" my order...larger drink/fries...I said sure. 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.

I’ve been drinking diet cola drinks for the last 30-35 years. I’m 71. I made it through Vietnam Nam as an Infantryman (11B) with only minor injuries. SOMETHING will take us all out. Might as well go out enjoying what you do, right? |
