Are you OK? Can I call someone for you?

in exchange, companies now have to stop gouging you on the premise that the average person doesnt drink too much

the ban is bad for consumers. instead of being able to get 3 refills of hot chocolate you now have to get 3 seperate hot chocolates. but, at the same time, these refills arent actually necessary, and it will lower the price of individual products

syrup systems and powdered hot chocolate are CHEAP. EXTREMELY CHEAP. it is incredibly difficult to actually ever cost a company using a free refill product, and because its a refill product, the cost is inflated.

the profit on refill products, like coke or hot chocolate is proportional to how many you consume. the deal looks good - a certain price for an infinite amount. but ultimately it works in the favour of whoevers selling it
