Got this from another site, copy and pasted so any typos are their fault:
I use a big thermos mug everyday for ice tea or pop at Circle K station. If you bring in your own cup it's considered a refill according to their sign. ALL their cup sizes are the same price of 99 cents if you use their cups (22 oz. up to 64 oz.) or refills are 89 cents if you bring you own cup. I use 2 different thermos mugs. One is a 64 oz. and the other is a 100 oz. mug. I usually use the 100 oz one during the weekend when I'm outside working in the garage or in the yard so I drink a lot.
Walked in one time with my 100 oz. mug, filled it with pop and walked over to the cashier. She rings up a 2 gallon refill for $3.00 I ask why is it $3 when every other time I've been in here it's always been 89 cents for a refill.
She tells me thats a 2 gallon cup.
I say, uh no it isn't, it's not even 1 gallon.
She says it's 100 oz right?
I say yes.
She says thats 2 gallons.
I tell her that 128 oz. is 1 gallon and 256 oz. is 2 gallons.
She looks at me funny like I'm stupid. I go over and grab a 1 gallon milk jug and show her the label on it.
look 1 gallon/ 128 oz. then I point to the label on my mug thats says 100 oz. and say get it now?
She says, but thats milk not pop.
I was floored and stunned. I asked her, so 1 gallon of pop is smaller then 1 gallon of milk?
she says yes because it's different liquid.
me.. I asked her, did you make it past the 3rd grade in school??
she rolls her eyes at me, re-rings it up as 89 cents,
I hand her a dollar and say keep the change, you going to need it.
Next day there is a note on each register in big bold letters describing to the cashier what to charge refills. "ALL REFILLS NO MATTER WHAT SIZE ARE TO BE RUNG UP AS REG. REFILL OF 89 CENTS!!!!"

]) Sure hope they're drinking diet!
once again, I doubt it was the original case, but I love to try and justify the morons with uncommon knowledge (there is a story about something like this that happened locally, not with me, that I love as a good example, I might tell it latter in off topic)
