Different company but when I worked at Odeon we were told to fill the drinks a THIRD full with ice.

Tight !!!!ers, soft drinks cost them pennies a cup anyway, it probably costs them more in energy to keep turning water into ice. But I'm sure Odeon would rather rip off a customer, even if it costs them more, just for the pleasure of doing it. I mean they are Odeon after all, the company that charges rip off prices for tickets then dumps you in an unattended cinema with kids running riot and spoiling the movie, then refuses a refund when you complain. One of the worst companies around in my book, rip off prices, bad serivce. I'm surprised that I haven't heard that many other people complaining over the years.

Haven't you guys learned that the only way to avoid getting ripped off involves being organized enough to make your own coffee?

Different company but when I worked at Odeon we were told to fill the drinks a THIRD full with ice. Then add drink. Because it saved the cinema money. What on Earth they expected us to do when a customer specified "no ice" I don't know. We just used to sneak extra drink into the cup when managers weren't around.

This is one of my bugbears which is why i always specify no ice

McDonalds,

I always go with the hot chocolate

Odeon,

I take my own drinks into the cinema, even when the signs state no food or drink. Even our cinema had a McDonalds across the road, so i took my Big Mac Meal into the Cinema with me.

I actually like McDs coffee better than the one I do myself, and for some reason it doesn't play havoc with my IBS like some other coffees do.
To keep down the cost I buy the vouchers off eBay for about £8.50 for 20.

It saves them money and they can list it under "healthy and safety" when questioned.

I always ask for no ice. If you really need ice, you can ask for no ice, and when they have filled the cup up with drink, change your mind, say sorry and ask for a small amount of ice to be added to the drink. Full cup + ice = happy drinker

I've used the same loyalty card 6 times now at my local drive-thru and they've never asked me to hand it in.
