I was in Kingston today. If you have a business class and have acces to the lounge. They have the following ''rule'' of there own. All juice and soft drink must be consumed in the lounge. No take out. Not sure about coffe. To my understanding, we can drink as many juice as we can. I've took 3 bottle and did a very last minute train change decision. VIA 42 was a bit late and decided to take it. I was suppose to be on VIA #644. The salon has a cam pointed at the fridge and the whole salon. I felt being spy or monitor. The guy at the counter did not see I had business plus and had the pay 7$ for a premium seat when its free in business plus. The whole thing happen in the matter of minutes.
