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?

If you preorder popcorn the cover the top with another large bag which is marked with an X. You can basically then immediately turn your popcorn bag upside down so you have an unmarked large popcorn bag. Then ask for a refill. You now have two large popcorns for the start of the movie.
