    DO NOT CHARGE FOR REFILLS!!! You’ll get the whole town talking about you, but not for the right reasons. I don’t know how my servers would even hope to keep track of that without slowing service down to a halt. The evening news every night gives you every excuse to raise your lunch special $.50...
