Re: Free Re-fills

[Pat McCann]

I have noticed the entire Cape Cod region of MA
also seems to shun the free refill pricing
method, at least they did when I was there a few
years ago. Is it possible their consumers have
similar elasticity levels to those in Europe,
 especially given their high tourist composition?
This policy seems to range from the Ruby Tuesday
/ Denny's mid range level restaurant to the more
pricey and distinguished one of a kind store.

   "Is there anything more distinctly understood by all men, than
what it is to see, to hear, to remember, to judge?  Yet it is
the most difficult thing in the world to define these 
operations according to the rules of logical definition.  But
it is not more difficult than it is useless.  Sometimes
philosophers attempt to define them; but, if we examine their
definitions, we shall find that they amount to no more than
giving one synonymous word for another, and commonly a worse
for a better."
