Refillable mug policies of truck stops ...

The ones I gotten refills at didn't care whose cup you use. Some T/S's you get a free refill or cup of coffee when you fill up with fuel. Others do charge, also it depends on the casheir.

 

To answer your question from my perspective: I will charge for a refill or slide the FJ card for a reusable mug every time. If someone doesn't have any drinks left on their card, I just let them go. We don't care who's mug you're using. A new cup costs, so you get charged for it. However, if you are at my counter, I might give you some grief about bringing in the "enemy cup" and tease you about it, but that's just me. Gotta have a little fun at work. At the J we put the yellow stickers on new cups and you can also use those for refills. Just make sure the cashier sees the tape and realizes it's not a new cup. I think, all fuel stops/stores deal the same way with reusable mugs. It's a lot cheaper, than buying new cups.

 

Years ago Denney's would refill your thermos for free if you had a meal there.

Not anymore they dont. But the price they charge is reasonable if you can find a place to park to get to a Denneys these days. Too many no parking signs nowadays.

 

I find at a lot of places when you are at the counter with your coffee cup in hand willing to pay they ask if that`s all for you and if it is they will say "Have a nice Day" and I return "Thank You and you too" and out the door I go with a good start on the day.

 

i think it depends mostly on who's on duty when you go in there; My teamates would just go in there and fill up regardless of which truckstop we were at. They would even go into McDonalds and burger kink and just fill up and 99% of the time no-one would say anything to them.


My policy, however, is to always ask first.
