    It’s a good thing you have a free water dispenser at your house and reusable water bottles are a thing.

      ‘free water dispenser at your house’

      You still get a water bill my dude, cheap isn’t free… Also OP is upset at the loss of convenience, not access.

        Yeah, I regret adding the “free” part because I didn’t intend my comment to be about cost. But in terms of convenience, is it really so much more inconvenient to bring a reusable water bottle with you to the store? Why add to a landfill by getting a disposable cup every time you go?

        Since we’re on the topic of cost though, do you know how much 16oz of water from your tap at home costs on average? 3 one hundredths of a cent. Thats about a penny and a half a year if you go to the grocery store once a week.
