Would it be okay to refuse to pay for another iced coffee at brunch because I was under the impression it was a free refill and I wasn't told otherwise upon asking?
Oh my, would you have paid if you were told that the second coffee was going to be charged?
If it was a free refill then no I wouldn't have, if it isn't then of course I would of paid
I understand why you are upset. Your waiter should have told you that the extra coffee would be charged, but even though they didn't, you are still responsible for the bill. Ask to talk to the manager, they may be able to work something out for you.
Are you kidding me? I was lied to and you want me to pay for it? Next time I will double check for hidden charges.
It would be good to double check next time. But for now you are expected to pay for both drinks since you already consumed it.
