I worked as a pub chef whilst I was at Uni in a student bar. Cola / lemonade on tap was free for staff to drink as much as we wanted... The managers reasoning? "Its basically free, you could drink it all day and it would only cost us about 20p".
And yet, a pint glass of draft cola over the counter... £1.50. Something like 98% profit  . Bars must love it when people just order soft drinks...
One thing to note, though: sit-in eating establishments have to offer free water if you ask for it. You can have as much as you want. So thats free refills, free in the first place, and not full of sugar. Most places will even put lemon or lime slices in at no extra cost! So, we tend to just get a jug of water for the table when we go out to eat.

I was about to say this. The profit they still make for free refills is hilarious as on average most people will only have a pint and a half and they still have paid more then they would
