    The brewpub I worked at had filtered water. Ice was crystal clear. I maintained all the filters because it was important, and the customers really appreciated it.

    Restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, don't have extra money to throw at such things that people will never notice, pay attention to, or even ask about. Filtering/purifying water doesn't give a ROI so why bother? In my business I have some experience dealing with restaurants, and take my word for it they don't have the money to cover the essentials (like keeping up their building). It's gotta to the point I don't even bother with restaurants because they just will not spend money on the essentials, they just as soon let their buildings rot around them.

    Brewpubs have more cash to spend than restaurants, plus they need filtered water for their brews. Restaurant management are the cheapest fuckers I've ever encountered.

    While I don't dispute your point, the restaurant had separate filters for the brewery and restaurant. Brewery was mandatory, the restaurant filters were considered a good investment in quality.

    I can name national chain restaurants whose management prefers letting their buildings rot into the ground around them rather than do crucial upkeep, and they aren't fast food outlets.

    In total contrast is Chick-fil-a management. They get things fixed immediately/practice zero deferred maintenance, when they aren't totally or partially remodeling.

    Moral relativism... He didn’t steal anything because you think so? A few years ago, there was a music festival in our little town, my children made home made Ice Tea (made with tap water) which they sold at the street outside our house to the festival goers. You think you have just the right to help yourself to a glass of their ice tea, because it was cheap to make vs some fancy filtered water?

    Not sure how this example has anything to do with the related story. Our story here has some bum being given a cuo to help himself to a fountain of choices. Maybe he asked for water maybe he was directed to water, and then again because it appears as a repeated daily offering from the manager he might have not been directed to take only water on this particular day, but only assumed to be directed by any number of previous days directions to water only. Its not stealing but an entitlement choice as the thread title states. And one that should be managed by the offering of the cup in the first place, not managing the cupees choice of similarly priced readily available products thereafter. Could be the choice was easily mistaken from a formerly robotic habitual purchased cop of soda.

    Your motion is denied, but a follow punch to the face, however desired, certainly unwarranted.

    Back when I frequented such establishments the water cups were small 2 oz cups. Is this still in practice?

    Right, thanks for giving me the bigger picture...
