Question How many drinks?

So we use Five Guys before cinema a couple of times a month, always getting unlimited soda. As we're there a while we get anything from 3 to 6 refills.

I know its sold as unlimited, but how many refills do YOU get? And how many are deemed acceptable before it's taking the mick?

If the drinks station is on the customer side its unlimited. Each cup full probably costs them a few cents/pence

Its about 3.4 cents for a 22 oz soda. The cup is about 11 cents. Go nuts

Ah ok, that's good then.

The staff have always been ok, but just wondering how long it'd be before the manager would start to want to say something. Sounds like it would only be at about closing time.

There’s no limit… um… yeah, that!

Thanks, but look at how many things are sold as unlimited, with conditions.

I just wanted to check it was genuinely unlimited 🙂

I might refill twice, after that there is just no room.

And I don’t want to spend the rest of the day pissing

Why would you even want to drink that much soda? Unless you want diabetes.

As a UK employee:

As many cartridges as we have stocked

No offense, but how long are you spending at five guys to be able to get 3-6 refills? The only people I see getting that many refills of soda are the homeless who ask for a water cup spending hours sitting in the corner. Also, as a customer, never liked seeing the homeless come in and game the system with free peanuts and water cup sodas.
