Water, water everywhere? No longer available!

It stops here. This is absurd.

It is. It's water. If you want it, pay for it. If it's free? Great but don't complain if it isn't. It's that simple... And no, I haven't seen 'Tapped'

Lol go to the bathroom, flush the toliet and wash your hands. You just used about 15 times the amount of water that comes in a glass. Plus they had to pay to warm the water up to a nice comfy temp.

Restaurants that are that stingy make me wonder if they are cutting corners where it matters, like maybe keeping the fridge at the right temp is to expensive so we'll turn it up just a bit. Or throwing away that bread they didn't use fast enough that has mold on it costs too much. I'll take my money somewhere else thanks.

Wow. You're awesome.

People bust their *kitten* to keep their restaurants open every day. Owning you're own business takes a ridiculous amount of work. You get charged higher rates for electric, gas, phone service and all sorts of other things just because you are a business... Then people like you come in, want things for free merely because you exist and then get pissy and waste their resources when you dont get what you want just because you can. The original poster didn't say they were denied water, they just had to pay for it. I don't see how it's that ridiculous to pay for something you order. If you bring it in the restaurant in a bottle, you bought that bottle somewhere didn't you? Why not buy it from the restaurant you're eating in?

Lol kick back turbo. I didn't demand it for free. I pointed out that they have to give you much larger volumes of free water somewhere else. All business give things away for free. It's how they make money too. Ever pay for a napkin, a tooth pick, or a straw? Those little half cent things are put into the price of the meal, which is why I'm ok paying 10 bucks for 3 bucks worth of food. What I said was when they start charging for those little half cent things it makes me wonder if they're cutting other corners, cause honestly how much more money could you save by never throwing food away. Mold? Who cares scrape it off and serve it up, that just saved us 75 cents.

Do you understand that the cost of all those things, napkin, tooth pick, water, whatever are going up? Just like everything else? If they're charging for it, they need the money from it. If it's free, wonderful but if it's not don't complain about it or assume something grody is going on in the kitchen.

do what I do at convenient stores, I take all my stuff up to the counter and ask to use the restroom if they say they dont have one for customers I leave all my stuff there and walk away.

Which is why the meal is $10 instead of $9. Nothing at a place of business is free. You pay for everything you get there including dish washing and hot water and all of it in the price of the meal. Charging for water can be done. It's a free country, but it alienates customers and is a very bad business move. You run your restaurant they way you want, I just won't eat there, but now it's cause I'm afraid you'd spit in my food. :-p

This is about the distributors requiring that the restaurant substitute bottled water, as the orignal post stated. Coke has its bottle water, Dasani, or whatever it's called. The markup of soda and bottled water is astronomical. The Coke costs 2 cents, you pay a dollar eighty. The water costs 2 cents you still pay a dollar eighty.

The sad part here is the cost to the planet of using bottled water. This is another victory for big business, and another FAIL for the planet.


Thankfully none of us eat at MacDonalds anyway, right?
