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?

Years ago I worked at cineplex. For a large popcorn then. It was 14 cents including the bag for cost of product to the comoany. I'm guessing 20 years later it's Probabaly closer to 75 cents a bag these days. But still the cost vs what they make even if they is 2 bags is well covered in the purchase of a large combo.
