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% | |

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.

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.

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.

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.
