This mentality is probably why Americans can’t have decent public services.
What mentality? You mean falling for obviously fake bullshit that only idiots would believe? Yea, I’d agree that’s the root of many of society’s problems…
7-11 has a pretty regular event where “fill a silly cup, feel free to be absurd” is a thing, so there is precedent
That amount of soda is still probably profitable for the company, fountain soda is incredibly cheap
This isn’t regular consumption and clearly not a regular occurrence, if beverages were regularly freely available, it wouldn’t be exciting to do this and this type of behavior would go away – you have to hoard service when public service is an artificially limited quantity.
This didn’t deprive any other customer of soda – the only downside here is a corporation losing a few cents of profit.

Hoarding is a bad mentality to be in (agreed with you here)
It will take days to drink that much soda, and it will be flat and nasty
When poor people get a windfall of money, they tend to spend it all. It’s why lottery winners tend to wind up broke. Because historically, money is a “use it or lose it” for those people. If you’ve been trained your whole life to adapt to things, it can be hard to do the right thing when those things no longer hold true.
Americans cant have decent public services because they abuse them… results in Americans desperate for public services… which results in Americans taking extra advantage of any public service that is available… which results in a mindset that Americans abuse public services… which results in less funding… Its a vicious cycle.
I mean, I appreciate the gumption but, honestly? This mentality is probably why Americans can’t have decent public services.

I am blown away every day by what people around here will believe if it fits their worldview.
“LOL! Conservatives so dumb they’ll believe anything!”
Here, watch me catch mad upvotes. They can’t help it, it’s a Pavlovian thing.
Billionaires, landlords, AI, Capitalism BAD!
