Haven't had that happen in restaurants. But a few fast food places, yeh.

**ztik** · 12-03-2003, 05:09 PM

If its a plastic cup then they normaly just charge for that and not for the water itself

**Head** · 12-03-2003, 05:14 PM

This maybe a sign of the future. Water is getting low in suply.

**HeadPimp** · 12-03-2003, 05:15 PM

Probably only in the places where people come to just hang out and not buy anything else... (bums & kids)

I've been to one or two restaurants that charge for water but it's <B>very</B> rare, even here in the desert.

What I <B>have</B> seen in the last few years is a lot of nightclubs charging for ICE. Not a little, either, I'm talking $3-$4 if you want your drink on the rocks. There was big scandal about a couple of fancy clubs in the Flats (Cleveland) pulling that shit.

never had to pay for it at a retaraunt but i did get a $2400 water bill 2 months ago for my house...pretty lame..no one can tell me why but i had to pay it

These places want you to buy soda and other beverages, that's where they make a good chunk of their profit, if not all of it. Soda is incredibly cheap compared to what you and I pay for it. When I checked into it, about 5 years ago, Coke was a penny an ounce. It's probably more now, but still, the mark-up is incredible.

It's common during water shortages... mostly to get you to NOT want the glass full that usually gets thrown out. And they have some reallllly nasty fines if they catch you watering your yard or anything too.

most of the time we dont have to pay for it. but if we did it would be worth it. our water is so clean compared to the water in europe.

downloadin' Nickleback on my PC, what kinda bullshit is that?

**Lonny** · 12-03-2003, 07:50 PM

some of the fast food places around here charge up to .15 cents for a small cup of water. So it's not unheard of.

Hell, no.

Another cool thing about the US, you don't pay for Ice cubes like in Europe.

This is like a European visiting San Diego and saying "most Americans are Mexican immigrants"...

And where exactly in Europe would that be? I've never paid for ice cubes in England, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Greece or Turkey

**hottoddy** · 12-03-2003, 08:24 PM

I have seen them charge Canadians for water.

**XxXotic** · 12-03-2003, 08:38 PM

Is this true ANYWHERE in the USA?

In ten years, you'll recall this blissfully ignorant statement.

Here's an idea. Flush your toilet twenty times today. Just so you can baffle your grandkids.
