Starbucks Refill Policy
December 30, 2005 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under General
Starbucks Gossip is holding a spirited debate about the Starbucks refill policy. The debate surrounds the topic that people try to scam Starbucks by bringing in old cups.
Up until last week I didn’t even know about the refill policy. I suppose I should have wondered. I can’t find much information online about the policy, however from reading I did do I understand you can expect a refill to consist of drip coffee and cost between nothing and 50 cents. You can usually get a refill no matter what you originally ordered.
Here’s to many refills and a great 2006!

I just asked if I could get a refill, without asking about their policy, and the barrista said ’sure’ and took my cup. when he came back he then mentioned that it would be 55 cents, but the manager, that was standing nearby, promptly said ‘don’t worry about it.’ I think it should be a policy that they post a prominent sign stating a refill policy, or just give refills to all who ask. especially since a lot of people spend more than an hour or two in the store working, or meeting with clients, etc.
Caveman says:
This morning, the day after Christmas, as I went back for a refill (my cup I washed out from day before) the righteous little arss behind the counter embarrassingly announced, “Just a reminder, refills are only for 1 day!” I had an answer ready for him, but chose to bite my tongue, as many people greet & like me in this Starbucks & know that I am waiting on money. So, where is the SIGN anyway?
