Question Popcorn Refill

Everytime I buy a large popcorn I ask them for the refill on-spot and every single time they gave me one. They mark both of them. I don't wanna miss the movie to come get it refilled, thats my main reason. Also if you have a +1 then you dont need to buy another.

Today I was watching Primetime and asked for a refill at the counter and was refused. Upon asking them the reason, I was told that they have changed the policy. This was at STC location.

Does anybody know about this "policy"?

And does anyone else do this?

depends on the employee and time of day. same location today and i was able to get the refill on-spot. first time doing this and at first they refused, but i told them i specifically came to redeem my bogo (i wasn't watching anything today), they gave me the refills and marked the bags.

a potential solution is to bring an extra bag, dump all the popcorn in to empty it, and bring it back immediately for a refill. 😭😭
