Re: Targets No Longer Allowing Free Refills on Icee YMMV
There really isn't a possible defense. Getting refills on a different visit is theft, plain and simple. No possible excuse or justification. No intelligent person on the planet is going to seriously defend your action, and no corporate policy or law would allow it. It is no different from stealing DVDs from the store. But you do/did it because it is an easy crime.

Talk about missing the point.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" does not mean that only people who are perfectly pure can pass judgment on others. It just means that the punishment should fit the crime. The crime was committed. If the judge has also committed a crime, that doesn't excuse the first.
I wish I had some photoshop skills. That Juicy Juice box is just aching for a Daddy Cool treatment. In my mind's eye, he's in the background, nice and blurry, doing his thing.

Hey guys
Drove by Home Town Buffet today. Is it cool if I bring my plate in and load up? I don't want to pay or anything like that.

What I recommend is this. Go in when it is really busy. Grab a plate of food and wait until a table leaves to go get seconds. Sit in their booth and eat fast. When you see them start to head back, get up and wander the food area again. Repeat until full. If you start to get looks, strike up conversations with random people, that way, it will look like you belong.

Your "Firefly" cellphone does not have a camera option. Good try though.
And at the 8 pages remark. Newbies still have yet to figure out you can have more then 20 posts per thread.

I confirmed that the Home Town Buffet near me *DID NOT* have a sign up saying you couldn't bring a plate from home.
YMMV, of course.

Love it when someone thinks that a thread they started is "their thread" and it's all about them.
Noticed today that my local Shell gas station does not have a sign saying "no refills". Will try for a refill on my tank next week and will report results.

Don't worry, this will be archived and anytime you post we will likely bring this up. Actually, I just dissed Rypo who posted about getting to "first base" 6 years ago. His response "people still remember that?" Yes, yes we do.

I don't think this thread annoys anyone. I'm pretty sure that we all think it is quite entertaining.

dont take it personally lovgun. this thread is no longer about you or gizmo or anyone else. it has taken on its own life and will live forever in dvdtalk history, transcending time and space. it will be reverently remembered as "that icee thread" and it will be smiled upon. some of us may even reference getting a refill of ________ and others will lol.
hopefully, some of us will still be around in years to come, and we will all have forgotten what the original point was. i am just glad i am here now to partake of its existence

Wait a minute...your 14.99 includes a lifetime refill of artery clogging buffet food? NO WAY.
I get free refills of my slush cup daily.
