I love how these fast casual restaurants give you what amounts to a shot glass to drink water out of, like I'm asking for the water because it's free and they're shaming me for it. I drink water because it's healthy, not because I'm cheap. Charge me for the water cup if you want, I just hate getting up four times to refill my water shot glass.

Ask for four waters, tell them you sexually identify as a fish and you'll be triggered if you don't get sufficient water.

Bring your own bottle

5/2/2018 8:58:47 PM

Fair point. The better/more thoughtful places don't do this.

assuming that you’re talking about places with fountains? they do this not to shame, but to make sure people aren’t getting sodas after ordering a water

I have no problem refilling my water cup if needed

I've seen plenty of places mitigate that risk by providing similarly sized glasses of a different color.

5/3/2018 1:34:29 AM

The cups being the same size completely defeats the purpose of having tiny water cups to prevent putting soda in it

you're drinking water because it's healthy at a fast food place?

5/3/2018 7:12:16 AM

If you're really drinking water for the health benefits, then you shouldn't mind walking your fatass over to the drink station a couple times. Extra steps have health benefits, too.

If you feel like you need to steal soda from a restaurant, then you just suck at life.

And sue me if I want to eat out at some place like Guasaca every once in a while. The place in question though, that prompted this thread, was a pizza joint called Blaze pizza.

Soda is way more expensive than it should be (but I'd rather get water anyways, most of the time)

5/3/2018 12:42:24 PM

^^nah, i don't care where you eat...i was just making the obvious joke about making health conscious choice at (likely) unhealthy places. i like blaze pizza. i eat fast food, i know it's not healthy. i don't care.

don't most places offer bottled water?

I drink water because I'm cheap and I don't drink soft drinks.

5/3/2018 1:09:43 PM

rjrumfel said he was okay with paying, and i think he confirmed it was at a place with fountain drinks, if so there is a really easy solution - pay for the soda then fill it with water

5/3/2018 1:12:30 PM

the employees at Blaze Pizza really need to work more on taking and filling orders than giving some long ass spiel to everyone that ends up backing the line out the door

5/3/2018 1:30:23 PM

NO BLAZE FOR YOU

5/3/2018 1:31:30 PM

^^^^^Jesus Christ dude it doesn't matter what I post.

And since you're expecting it, maybe even setting me up, here it comes....

If you're too poor to afford a $2 soda, then you shouldn't be eating out. Are you saying its ok for poor people to steal soda just because they can't afford it? Hell why don't they just dine and dash?

I just can’t believe you didn’t know why there are different cups for water at fast food restaurants

were you never a teen or at least hung out with teens?

Get some self-esteem and stop feeling shame about your beverage choice.

5/3/2018 1:37:53 PM

There was never a question here.

I ask for water, I get a 4 oz cup. That's a problem.

5/3/2018 1:41:50 PM

Then put those market forces to work and go to a different restaurant.

5/3/2018 1:50:11 PM

^^ buy a soda, put water in your cup

5/3/2018 1:59:33 PM

Most of the time if you ask for the bigger cup they’ll just give it to you

5/3/2018 2:48:15 PM

Again, a lotta places offer bottled water if you wanna pay for it.

5/3/2018 4:25:59 PM

bring your own water cup from home

5/3/2018 5:07:33 PM

I just carry around a really long water hose connected to my house, that way I'm never thirsty.

5/3/2018 5:52:42 PM

i, too, must carry around a long hose

5/3/2018 8:49:02 PM

The bathroom has a free water faucet, just nurse on that puppy until you're not thirsty

5/3/2018 9:12:25 PM

man u guys on here r nerds

5/4/2018 9:38:05 PM

Buy a ten dollar cocktail, pour it out, and fill the glass with tap water from the bathroom
