This is like getting kicked out of McDonalds for ordering a small order of french fries and instead eating 400 ketchup packets. Things are free when people don't abuse it. Just be normal. Jesus.

>Things are free when people don't abuse it. Just be normal. Jesus. Well, no, things are free until they stop being free. Who gets to decide what "normal" means.

  Life would be miserable if every restaurant had to parcel out individual sugar packets just because 1/100 people decided to abuse it and take them all home. Why do you want everything to be financialized? The world works better when people can use small conveniences non-abusively.

  There's no such thing as unlimited anything in business. Every unlimited plan simply means, "we won't tell you the limits."

    sounds like they need to tell people the limits or stop false advertising.

In your analogy, the person was ordering the "fries with as much ketchup as you need", which McDonalds was specifically advertising for people who need a lot of ketchup. Also we would live in a world where eating a few hundred ketchup packets wouldn't be very unusual. Go to the Internet Archive and look at the Workspace pricing page of two years ago. They put it front and center that you would get "as much storage as you need". They also made you go through sales, so if they only intended to sell the product to people buying hundreds of seats, that would have been totally possible. They didn't.

What if McDonalds is offering unlimited fries with any hamburger? Would they be reasonable to kick you after eating 5 pounds?
- sssilver 3y ago
  Not if they were explicitly offering unlimited fries. In that case they would be indisputably unreasonable, in its dictionary definition of “having no basis in reason or fact”, where reason and fact are that they offered unlimited — not 5 pounds — but unlimited fries with any hamburger.

Where do you see McDonalds advertising unlimited ketchup? Condiment dispensing appear to be left to franchisees, but clear you only get up to 5 packets for free here: https://www.grubhub.com/food/mcdonalds/menu https://www.grubhub.com/food/mcdonalds/menu

Mac Donald’s doesn’t advertise and sell for money access to unlimited ketchup packets as a product. Google did.
