i knew a guy who owned multiple tim hortons franchishes and he said that he had done some math and figured out it costs 10 cents to break even for the paper cup and the drink that fills it. i dont believe in stealing but when its 3$ for a small pop go for it.

5. Open up a hummingbird sanctuary and use the POP (not soda) to attract hummingbirds, and then sell passes to the sanctuary

I got caught doing this twice, and holy fuck it was awkward. The guy told me to pour it out, so I did, then he walked away. So naturally i re-filled it with soda. He walked back over and told me if i did it again I would have to leave.

i actually just find water naturally more refreshing than any carbonated beverage so i usually just get water anyways. "accidentally" pushing the soda button instead is occasionally acceptable.

When I went to Fuddruckers in Portland it had one of those and I was like what the fuck do I do with it and then I found out and spent my whole time trying every flavour, it was legit.

Like 4 or 5 yrs ago my friend had the cops called on him @ Arbys because he got soda with a water cup. It was so stupid...

I always get water, or pay for a soda cup if I want soda...

At the caff at my university I quickly grabbed a paper cup and filled it with water from the drink machine. water at practically any restaurant or eatery is free, so why shouldn't it be at the caff of an institution I pay thousands to each year.  I was walking out and the person at the cash yelled at me and said "you need to pay for that". I asked for what? It's water. They said "for the cup. you need to pay 14 cents". not even kidding, they tried to make me pay 14 cents for a paper cup. I drank the water right there, put the cup on the counter and walked away. fuck that shit

The manager at my local Mcdonalds banned two of my friends because they scored a few too many free beverages..
She threatened to charge us with shoplifting for it too. OMG shioplifting $1.29 worth of merchandise?!?!
Also perhaps because she got tired of us asking her new employees for Whoppers and then when they would call the manager to ask what we were talking about we acted like all we wanted is a McChicken.

i would like to call attention to how much these things suck. no one needs, or really wants, vanilla flavored root beer. all these machines do is create long lines at the soda machine because only 1 person can go at a time and you have to hit 3 touch screen buttons with fucked up sensitivity instead of just pushing your cup against a level.

My friend Jeffrey has been caught at: McDonalds, Panda Express, Burger King, Quiznos, and Subway.
He cannot go into one panda express close to my school because they have caught him so many times.
It doesnt matter really... I say just get soda with a water cup if you want.

In college, I would just save my cup and reuse it over and over. Why? Because a soda would put you over the meal plan.

Thats not what 90% profit means.... fine its 1000% mark up but for profit it's actually 92.5% profit.

Here is the math assuming we use 10 cents per cup and 5 cents for drink and they charge 2 bucks

SO 100*(1-.15/2)
