Your cup at McDonalds doesn't automatically refill though. It's more like actively clicking next.

- beatgammit 7y agoIt does at many restaurants. The waiter comes by and refills my drink, often without asking if it has unlimited refills. It's kind of like Netflix, which says "next episode starting in 10 seconds", where inaction gets you more content. And I don't see a problem with that. If you know you'll drink too much with unlimited refills, don't order drinks with unlimited refills. I really don't think government has any business in this at all, but I guess I could see something where certain classes of product need to support setting limits on use from the customer side (as in, X hours of Netflix per day on this profile). That still sounds like overreach to me, but if it's a real problem for people with addictive personalities, I think it could be a workable solution while avoiding a lot of the unintended consequences.
