i emailed subway about their free refills on fizzy drink and was told that they dont give free refills in the uk people just assume they do and it too much hassle to try and charge people for the free drink

I know of two burger kings that have the drinks machine in the restaurant area. One is near Ikea at Wednesbury and the other is in Stoke On Trent.

you are allowed one refill (full cup) as you pay for the cup not the coffee been and done it in a few outlets:cool:

Yeah, there's nothing that says free refills, It's just quicker for them if we serve ourselves.
Also, my friend works there and he gets as many fizzy drinks as he wants, but he had to bring his own mug in from home.
Because they don't want to waste their cups.

Very interesting, I never knew you could get a free refill in UK maccy dee's. It's crazy how the US do things so differently to the UK.

You can't, it depends as its been said before, most Mcd's are franchises these days, so its up to the franchisee. Another little known fact - if you purchase a breakfast meal you can buy a second hash brown for 30p. Again this seems to be the decision of each individual franchise. Most will honour this, but some point blank say they have never heard of this.


Its important to remember, most of them are franchises, and have their own way of operating. If in doubt, ask.

It is true that you can get a 30p hashbrown extra with each meal and also that you can have a free refill on your coffee in company owned restaurants, although neither are advertised for obvious reasons. Although it is the decision of the franchisee in franchise restaurants. (Shift Manager)
