I'm seeing that apparently but yeah, I'm up in Maine close to the border, almost every establishment that has those machines generally also have a sign that says no refill and I really can't think of any place here that advertises refills as free outside of coffee at dine in establishments.

For sit down restaurants, that's truly bizarre. Why would I pay $3.50 for a small glass of soda that's half full of ice unless I'm going to pound 3 of them?

it's 3.50 for a small where you are? holy cow, it's roughly like $1 or $2 here for a normal tall glass. The only place that's really up there in price for soft drinks are fast food establishments like McD which have around 3$ for a large.

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to restaurants with table service, where you buy the 1 size of soda and it comes in a glass. The small part was my personal judgement. But yeah, Seattle's expensive.
