Is it ok to fill an McDonalds Ice Coffee Cup with Soda?

So its been bugging me but I dunno if someone could answer this.
My friends and I like to hang out at a McDonalds because we're hooked on the Iced Coffee as its cheap.
I typically order a large Ice coffee but sometimes I finish it early. I went to fill it with soda and a lady (another fellow customer) gave me a comment about how I shouldn't be doing that and should purchase a fountain drink cup (McDonalds has that $1 any size fountain drink going on)
I ignored her but its been bugging me.
Is it appropriate to just empty the left-over ice out of the cup and fill it with something from the Self-Serve Fountain Drink dispenser? (I understand its ok if I fill it with water)
What do you guys think?

I guess I'm wondering where it lies because if we were to strictly follow the idea if for example I fill it with water, ice, or carbonated water (yeah I know no one uses that tab on the machine. Its just nasty by itself), then it would also be stealing water or ice.
With carbonated water, I don't know if that's a usual free item on the soda machine. I wouldn't think so though because carbonation does cost money. But, if it is free, then that's okay too then.
And it's usually when things are dead, and not many other people in the restaurant. These people are sloooooow!
McD employee: Sure, here you go.
Customer: Goes to fountain, puts a bit of ice and filtered water into the cup.
So yeah, from the customer's perspective, water is free.

Customer: Can I have a pack of BBq sauce?
McD employee: Sure, here you go.
Customer: Takes cup of BBq sauce.
So yeah, from the customer's perspective, bbq sauce was free
This is why Mcd has resorted to charging for those dipping sauces now, backed a couple years ago they use to hand them out when you ask them
