My Cup Runneth Over
In our country, they don’t ever want you to leave a restaurant feeling you’re not full enough. They give you lots and lots to eat and when it comes to beverages: a bottomless cup! Yep, America is the land of free refills. Some countries have been catching on and have adopted this concept in some restaurants in recent years, but this is truly an American idea.
In the US, casual eateries usually give you the right to refill your cup. In diners, the waitress kindly comes by offering to top up your coffee cup with freshly brewed coffee, and in fast food joints, you can just go to the soda machine and refill your cup with the beverage of your choice. Hell, you can drink 20 cups of Sprite, for all they care. They just want the customer to be satisfied. And in the land of refills, how could you not be?
