I walked into the 7-11 as I have been for years getting a product I am sure most people have purchased on a regular basis. A soda refill.

What is a soda refill?

Thank you for asking. It's when you REUSE the SAME cup you originally bought NEW at 7-11, to REFILL it with your favorite soda.

On the side of any fountain soda station, are the prices for the various sizes, NEW and then on the bottom, it states the 2 prices for refills of same sizes.

I don't know what possesses a company like 7-11 to give a price break to a refill size that they don't even have, let alone charge more for refilling their largest cup (64oz)!!!

Tonight...I paid $1.49 for a REFILL of Pepsi.

The price if I'd been buying that same thing NEW? $1.59.

Where is the logic in this, when they only charge 99 cents for any refill upto 53oz...7-11 doesn't HAVE a 53oz cup. Just 16, 24, 32, 44 and 64oz sizes.

Where is the company losing money or needing to penalize us for keeping our 64oz'ers and bringing them in for a refill on a regular basis?

Are there customers out there that are making runs on all 7-11's with their 100 to 200oz gigantor mammoth cups that look so big you could club a baby seal with it and not miss?

I don't get it.

Anywhere I go, I have never paid 10 cents less for a refill what I would have been charged for a new drink.

Even when I mentioned the fact to the bitch at the counter, she just said, "That's the way it is!"

OMG...she came so close to getting wet.

Write 7-11 Corporate if you feel disenfranchised by this.

There are too many other things they could get away with charging more for...like Slurpees and coffee and their God awful donuts.
