That’ll be the cold sodas. Wander over to the aisle with room-temperature 2L bottles and they’re the same price as the small bottles in the fridge. Yeah, nah, I don’t need a cold soda that much.
And if I did, I’d casually take a cup from the coffee area and fill it with ice. I’ve done it countless times (because I like cold coffee), and only once has an employee said something - telling me I had to pay for the ice. I begrudgingly paid that one time (like 25 cents or something?), but after that I figured that if an employee were to give me shit about paying for a cup of ice again, I’d just leave all my potential-purchases at the counter and walk out.
Thankfully, it hasn’t come to that. Yet. I just avoided that particular store for a while afterwards. Their competitors all sell the same things, and after this episode I straight-up asked an employee at one of the competing stores about the price of a cup of ice - just to be aware beforehand. She made a weird face and said that they never charge for just a cup of ice. Like the idea sounded almost too absurd.
So yeah. Anyway. Thanks for putting up with my ramblings.
I’m surprised they still think that they can get away with $3 for a 20-ounce soda, although I know the gas stations have something to do with that.
