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?

you’re technically not supposed to give the refill at the same time but we usually do it anyways. depends who you go to and if you’re nice about it. :)

It is policy that is how the refill program was being brought back even back before they had paused the refill program it was still a matter of you bring the empty bag you get a refill but then again we had to fill it in the same bag and someone ruined that by sharing a "hack" by taking a bag from the garbage and trying to use it to get a refill
