Funnily enough you won’t see this system in high-end places
What "high-end" places give you a paper cup and make you go fill it up yourself?

America is not a high trust society, so now refills are not allowed and every ounce accounted for. Multiple places throughout America are implementing this same QR system
Most other countries don't offer free refills at all (or ice)

Restaurants need to start failing due to lack of business to get their prices back in line.
As long as people are willing to pay $10 for a cup of coffee, that is not going to happen.

Now society has taken things even further and everyone demands a full-arse drink to go when they leave.
This is my 87-year-old mother-in-law. She can't leave a restaurant without a full to-go cup of sweet tea.

Oh please, keep other food costs down? Have you been to a restaurant lately?
Yes. Food costs would have to go up even further if they reduced their markup on soft drinks. Thats just basic business. You act like restaurants are money machines. Standard restaurants shoot for 10% profit margain and most run between 5-10%. Do you realize how low that is?
You are bitching about the price of soft drinks. Think about that, not health care, not water, not education. Soft drinks.

I like the little, we used to be a high trust society aspect without acknowledging how much people will try to abuse that trust. Order a water and fill with soda. Have 4 people at the park, 3 order a 1-time drink and 1 orders unlimited refill. The unlimited refills then use their code to refill everyone else's drinks.
Also, this is not a new thing. It may be new to Dollywood, but they have them in some capacity at Disney, Universal, Great Wolf Lodge, National Mall in DC...

Really? All restaurants do free refills on soda, even fancy 5 star places.
They normally do not do free refills on juice drinks.
That is pretty much why America is fat.

I would say it's more a symptom of capitalism, every industry is corrupt due to greed. And "teens" aren't typically running things

That has more to do with the fact that it's not a fountain drink, it's an individual drink each time.
I realize that argument can be turned around on me when it comes to draft beer and beer bottles, but alcohol is just different.

Good. People should drink less liquid garbage

Disney has been doing that shite for years and people just now complaining?? Plus how much fricking soda does one person need?? Drink fricking water..
And it’s laughable “America is not a high trust society” posted by the least trustworthy demographic ..EL OH EL

I just got back from Dollywood. It was something like 20 oz per fill and was available every 10-15 minutes.
The into thing it did was stop people from TOTALLY abusing the system. It still allows for kind of abusing it.
Oh also water cups with ice were free.

I old enough to remember when there were no free refills (maybe coffee), on the rare occasion we went out to eat, dad told the server not to bring out drinks until the meal came.
