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?

That seems kind of stingy. I see an actual opthalmologist because of some special issues I have and then go to a local optical/optometry shop near me for glasses. It sounds like if they operated the way you did, I'd get charged, which would definitely leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Well yeah that's rude, and wrong. You shouldn't expect to get free stuff just walking into somewhere unless they advertise it.
Well, the end result is that I can compare them: Glasses sitting on my face that I can see out of. The only difference is potentially in quality of materials, selection, workmanship, and after-sale services. Which is why I'm currently going to this local shop, since they have a bit higher quality, better selection, and much better after-sale services.
It's not like I'm trying to compare the glasses to a pizza or something, they are directly comparable. And the frame and set of lenses at my local Costco I would select are 4-5 times the cost I did select at my local shop. The cost of frames at my local shop are more, but I'm sorry, I'm still getting "ripped off" in a sense, because I know these frames aren't $300. But again, the ability to get rimless is worth the difference, so it is directly comparable. I probably would switch back to Costco if I couldn't find frames I like because even stepping down to discount frames, the difference is still easily 3.5x at the local optical shop.
Doesn't make a bit of difference to me. An analogy to this from my field is offshoring and outsourcing of software development. If I were about to be outsourced to an offshore development shop, me telling management that they can't make a cost comparison to the other developer because he doesn't have the same rigorous training and experience I do would be dismissed out of hand. At the end of the day, all they'd care about is a delivered product.
Which is why the local shop is winning my business. They are adding value that other places like Zenni don't and I respect and recognize that. Not everyone will and you can't just tell people that Zenni isn't comparable. It obviously is for them.
Speaking of Zenni, I'm not entirely sure that Costco isn't using a shop like them. It usually takes them nearly two weeks to get a pair of glasses in, which curiously is roughly the time it takes Zenni to get glasses to me.
I'm 100% sure Zenni and Costco aren't associated. The two-week time frame for eyeglass orders is standard for most labs and opticals. The multiple labs we use also take from a few days to a couple wks to complete orders. But, we always tell customers/patients it'll be 2 wks.
I just looked at Zenni's website and it appears that they are located in CA. So, it's a site that I would somewhat recommend. For bifocals, trifocals, or progressives though, I wouldn't recommend any online site.
As far as the lens quality not making a difference to you, it can make a different in lens quality and optical quality if the lenses are low quality non-U.S. approved lenses....especially with high prescriptions or bifocal/progressives. I've already mentioned the Rx sunglasses and non-UV blocking scenario. That's important because when you're wearing sunglasses, your pupils naturally dilate behind the tinted lenses. If the lenses don't offer any UV blocking properties, all that UV light is going to enter your eyes.
Certainly though, ppl are free to do what they wish. I can only educate them of the potential issues. They can decide for themselves.
I love a woman who knows her peelies.
Yes, the $0.55 ones - for the slices. I love the 40 calorie ultra thin slices and some of the coupons don't expire until 5/31/2013!

"Cheese, Cheese will keep us together
Think of me K whenever,
Some sweet peelie deal comes along, who could go wrong
Don't mess around,
You just got to be strong
Just Stop, 'cause you know you've got to
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in that case and let Cheese keep us together........."
