That's anti-homeless? I saw that at Five Guys in Paris and it seemed to be pretty clearly made to limit free refills

i don't buy that it's simply limiting free refills, because the cost of sale on soda is pennies, and a good portion of that is the paper goods that you just spent r&d and supply chain money on

if it's not a push to increase table turnover, they must be trying to manipulate some other customer behavior i can't fathom because there is no way excess refills are making a noticeable dent on their costs

The cost of soda is pennies, plus the opportunity cost to sell you another one for 3.50:



It might be to track or manipulate some behavior as you say, but just jumping to "it's anti-homeless DRM" conclusion seems ridiculous. What about all the places that don't offer self-service drink fountains?

I'd do it again too.

We don't have Five Guys here so it's about as exotic as frog legs. Also it was like 1am and everything else was closed.

IIRC there isn't even an official minimum wage as such. Though through some shenanigans it's effectively 1500EUR/month or about $11/hour in practice.

Sorry I think that's the correct response, if a bit insensitive. Vote for someone who will act against this. A general strike might work too but lol good luck with that.

She's in no immediate danger, so what else is there to do? Send thoughts and prayers?

Yes it's pretty nuts. What do you suggest to address this?

It seems that everyone is mad but... not doing anything. Gun control has pretty wide support when polled but people won't vote based on that. Or organize massive protests. Everyone is complicit because despite the ridiculous scale, it still doesn't and will never affect the vast majority of people.

A bit insensitive? Motherfucker, that poor girl survived a mass shooting -- by a fraction of an inch. Yeah, it's great to tell people to vote and take action and all that, but at least let the poor girl wash the blood from her eyes before you start screaming "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO, GUESS YOU KNOW WHAT TO VOTE FOR NOW, HUH?!" in her face!

A good response would have been, "Hey, I'm sorry you went through that, let me share your GoFundMe and get the word out about what happened to you on your own terms."

Show a bit of humanity before you turn her blood-soaked thousand-yard stare selfie into a piece of tawdry campaign propaganda, Christ.
Are you saying it's too soon to make it political? Would "Heartwarming! People donate for yet another mass shooting victim's hospital bill" feelgood thing really be better?

It sucks but the outrage needs to be funneled into something that has a chance of actually addressing the problem.
