Paying a buck for a soda that costs 5c of syrup and could be obtained for the same price from a vending machine is silly. (and the 10 seconds of 'service' is not worth the dollar).

tipping for a mixed drink is different.
Agreed.

IAD has coolers. SFO and ORD have fountain machines. It's not my fault that Denver keeps everything behind the bar.

Honestly, I think they should tip me for having to wait in line behind all the people ordering real drinks (sometimes 5 minutes or more!) just to get an iced tea!
