I recently went on vacation and experienced this for the first time,

I have never personally done it myself, but when I was in Florida one of my friends would do it every time they entered an establishment they would buy a drink they would drink the drink during the time there and then on their way out they would refill it on the soda fountain. Asked them about it and the response was that they found the establishments that have the soda fountain able to be used by customers generally seemed to have a free refill policy.

I have never heard of that, it's not a thing in my state, and I don't think they actually do, but nonetheless I never saw her get stopped by any employee for doing it, and just by sitting at the table eating I could see that it definitely was not just her doing it.

You’re actually the odd one out here. Free refills are nearly universal across the US

Places that limit free refills only say that because people try to abuse the system and load up a gallon container.

Those places, channel your inner boomer and feigning ignorance if you're caught.
