It’s called re-fill. We both have starbucks cups from the one around the corner, you know the one. Anyway, my venti-ice coffee usually runs around $3/per cup.....we both realized refills are only $0.50. We are going to see how long we can continue to get refills....cause he’s a broke-ass mofo and I’m so cheap I’ll squeeze a penny until Abe Lincoln screams. Let the games begin....Please feel free to join in. Report back when busted.

You only go to one Starbucks. They should start to figure it out by your second trip tomorrow, and know for sure what you’re doing by the same time on day three.
Will they give a shit to do anything about it? That’s the question.

No, here in San Diego they are almost on every freakin’ corner, going to a different location isn’t that difficult.. What we really want to figure out is, like you said, if they even care.

I stopped by a $tarbuck$ one day and took in my travel mug. I asked for a drip coffee, black, and the guy filled my cup and said, “No charge.” I said, “Are you sure?” He said, “Yeah, it’s only coffee.” I doubt he lasted very long.

Oh, you didn’t mention multiple locations. Do they care if you use multiple stores, or is this refill deal only where you bought the original one. If you can use more than one store, you could possibly go forever. The refills are $0.50, so it’s not like they are
losing
money if you never buy another one. Eventually the paper cup will wear out, right?
Good luck. Let us know who wins.
I used to catch other shopping center employees bring their paper cups in to my soda fountain for free refills. They always caught my eye because they were regular customers, so it was pretty easy to catch when I saw them walk in and head straight for the soda machine.
It was time to explain to them,
“Hey guys, free refills expire when that cup walks out the door”
Them Hair Cuttery bitches be thirsty.
I cared because it was my store, and I’ll be damned if I let someone buy a $0.99 soda and milk that shit until the cup wore out. Some of my other stores couldn’t care less, and would rather let it go than confront anyone (staff included).

I’ve never heard otherwise on if it is location specific, so I don’t know. I wouldn’t do the soda fountain thing though. that’s just tacky. I figure the coffee refills are probably just a tad over cost, so it’s not like this is stolen coffee.

Figures..... I started a no caffeine regiment yesterday. I was drinking way too much coffee. I usually go 2 weeks when I forego caffeine. The headaches the first couple of days are the worst part.

Agreed. I had to quit while I was in the hospital a few years ago. I was drugged up most of the time, so it wasn’t that bad.
