    Some westerners may be surprised that here in Eastern Europe this is the standard. I’ve only seen free refills in IKEA.

    Burger King opened and started offering free refills. It was awesome. And then they stopped doing it and started charging for every drink. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      It used to be the standard in the U.S. too. When I was a kid, it was not self-serve at McDonald’s and there were not free refills.

      That’s honestly odd. A refill costs nothing as compared to the initial cost of the cup/lid/straw.
