When I purchased my first mug, way back when they first sold them. They were selling it with the understanding that it could be used on your future trips.
The end of the world as we know it.
Yes, this is a minor issue involving a tiny amount of frozen yogurt. It won't bankrupt Disney, and it sounds as though there might be some ambiguity as to whether or not this is or is not allowed.
However, the bigger issue is one of honesty. "Character" is doing the right thing when no one is watching. Stupidity is doing the wrong thing even when someone IS watching.
On occasion I have been the person who grabs a couple peanuts from the bin at the grocer store to munch on while walking the aisles. I would tell myself it is not stealing, it's snacking. But it's still wrong, and I do not think I should set a bad example for anyone who may be watching, especially young people.
Is throwing a cigarette butt out your car window littering, for those of you who smoke? Is it tax evasion to not pay taxes on that extra money from lawn mowing, or that rummage sale, or that $10 lottery prize? Yes, but it's accepted.
Technically, it's illegal to drive even one mile-per-hour over the speed limit, and the ramifications of unsafe driving could mean a fatality--worst case scenario. Let he is without sin cast the first stone.
The moral is that the frozen yogurt thing is wrong, and it sets a bad example. It is also a conundrum from a corporate point of view to determine how to deal with it. Do you confront the individual, and thereby cast a cloud over his vacation? Or do you ignore it, and perhaps rancor those other people who follow the rules? Or do you politely mention it to the person, and pleasantly remind him that eating at the dispenser is not allowed for health code reasons, and "I am sure you didn't mean to do anything wrong."? Hmm, the last option seems OK to me.

Well if there are free refils of the yogurt, shouldn't WDW put a sign next to the machine saying that, like with the mugs saying free refils on drinks?Sledge said:

It was wrong to take a second bowl. I think we all agree on that. But nobody died, the world did not stop turning and I think there are bigger issues in the world today that you should probably be turning your conscienscious attention to. It is nice to see somebody with morals - but there are better things you could be exercising them on.

No problem! :wave:WDW FAN 4 LIFE said:
The big deal is that he obviously was not supost to get a refil of yogurt, when he should have paid again. I seen people freak out when someone say's they used their mugs at other resorts, so isn't this kind of the same situation.c133125 said:

Maybe it would be good to have a No free refills sign. Maybe he thought it was free since there was no signage indicating it wasn't

Not that I condone what this person "did"...:lookaroun But really...you're in Disney World, why do you care that this man had a second helping of yogurt. How do you know that he didn't ask the waiter if he could have a second helping? When I'm there I rarely pay attention to what other people in a restaurant are doing.
