william tell drink refill charges

[Winnigirl83]

I think the difference here, is they were drinking juice, not soda (I assume the "soda" in the original post was soda water). Most places do offer free refills on soda - fountain soda (if they serve bottles or cans, you get one).

I don't think I've ever been given a free refill on juice. When I go out to breakfast, I get one juice. If I order another, I pay for another.

I find that if the restaurant is adult-oriented, but tries to accomodate the requests of children, the juice often comes from the bar.. it's there as mixers for cocktails. So when a child orders cranberry juice for example (which is a favorite of my 10 year old), the server gets it from the bar and it gets rung up as a non-alcoholic cocktail. Thus its handled transactionally as part as the bar bill. No one expects free refills on a sea-breeze, and this was probably considered no different.

As was said earlier - its best to ask at the time of the refill..
