I think they need to clarify themselves more. They can’t on the one hand offer free refills (plural) to customers who buy 1 drink but also at the same time say that customers need to leave within 20 minutes. The 2 sets of rules aren’t compatible and they should discard one or the other. At least then ppl would know where they stand when they enter the restaurant.
