Refillable Mug?
« on: March 09, 2015, 03:30:08 PM »
Hi Everyone,

Apologies if I am missing it but what are the rules now on the refillable mugs? Is it certain years that can still be refilled (like 2011 and older) or ???

Thanks So Much!

If you buy 1 this year, you can get refills this year.....  Next year, buy another 1...


OR, for the time being they are still honoring refill mugs from past years, Go garage saleing and find a mug 5 or 10 years old.

When they announced this a few years ago, my interpretation was they would only honor the current season. There's a thread on here somewhere about. However, they have not been enforcing this that I have seen yet. They have refilled anything I've handed them (as long as it was theirs) and honored the refill price.

I would think it would be a legal issue.  If it says "refillS $1.50" without stating a date, wouldn't it have to be refillable all the time?  If it has a date, such as 2014, that would be different IMO.

The man at the Ice Cream Parlor told me they only will refill this year's mugs. Older mugs can only be filled with water, nothing else. They stopped refilling all old mugs back in 2011. They do this because they want money, more than likely.

Wrong. But I'd expect nothing less from you anymore.

Nope.
You have a great past just ahead of you.

Even charging just a dollar for a refill of coke or ice tea they're making a profit.  I can't think the frozen lemonade, as good as it is, is very expensive to make.

I'd think they could go the route of Holiday World and just have "free drinks"

Hey there, everybody!  We've had our fun, but we don't need to continue this back-and-forth.  The forum needs to enhance our SDC experience, not become a place where things escalate into personal attacks.  To be clear, we can disagree.  In addition, we each need to be humble enough to realize that we could be wrong at times.  And try to stay on topic, and stop taking things so personally.  It's OK to "listen" and not comment about everything.

To be clear, that comment was for you, as well, Laroy.

Back to the Refillable Mug topic please...

I have always had my mugs refilled, even at Christmas with hot chocolate and the works.  We are fortunate to have some older mugs that are refilled for a reasonable price, and the price printed on the mugs is always the price that is honored, even in December 2014.

Ok, someone needs to tell me where you all are going and who you are seeing that is bending the rules for you and taking the old mugs. I need to see this guy so he can hit me up with something. I see all kinds of people with Buss Saw Falls mugs but i didnt know they would take them.
