McDonalds Now Charges For Water
Having been a loyal McDonalds burger customer for years, I was very surpised and upset when my local burger joint charged me $1.00 for water one morning when I asked for a cup of water.
When asked about the charge, I was informed it was now a McDonald's corporate policy to sell bottled water and not give away cups for drinking water.
Maybe they should use the public water the save to clean up the place because it sure could use it.

Blame it on the people that try to steal drinks instead of paying $1 for one.

I have been a McD's restaurant manager for 7 years now. We were thinking about doing the same thing, because there are morons out there that ask for a "courtesy cup for water", then go and fill it with a soft drink. Pay the $1 for the soda!!! Then you won't ruin it for everyone else who isn't a theif!!

I work for a mcdonalds in rhode island. yes mcdonalds now serves bottled water as the public seems to prefer that to soda and juices these days but the store i work at still gives out cups for those who ask for water. it is not all mcds that refuse to give cups. i dont see any reason to trash the entire company for a bottled water that costs a dollar
