  • Goto www . makeupyourownmind . co . uk (without spaces obviously) and look at the answered questions - apparently it's at restaurant manager's own discretion.

    Hi
    In Hull they have the drinks machine out in the restaurant and you just pay for the cup
    Not seen it anywhere else though

    It's the same in York. :)

    Maybe the Southerners can't be trusted to dispense their own pop? ;)

    they usually only have them when the place is too small to fit it all properly behind the counter. never get that in the larger ones, or atleast you didnt when i used to work for them.
  • Only seen the 'fill-your-own' in the Norwich Asda Maccy D's... none down south unfortunately. I s'pose the reason they still sell Small Regular Large is purely people's laziness - I mean, who in their right mind (unless your a MSE) would want to interrupt their Big Mac because their small cup is empty, when you can get rid of the problem for only an extra 59p?! :rotfl:

    Us Costco members get unlimited refills of soft drinks for 70p, and it's a large cup too! :T

    up to each francise owner i guess.. in better times, and with nearby competitors, you may have had more luck..

    gotta ask yourself though.. do you really need, or want, a 2nd McD cup'o mud?

    will check what subway's policy is next time i visit. they have cold drink fountain in main area, though close to counter..
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)

    not all maccies are franchised though, the big ones are nearly all company owned.
  • When i worked at McD's (some 6 years ago now!) we used to offer ONE free refill on a coffee , if purchased at breakfast time. Reason being , we used to brew jugs of the stuff , but could only keep for half hour. Im really not sure on the policy now s they do Espresso/latte etc. But thats my input lol!

    If i help you...Please thank me! :beer:
