I guess America does not actually run on dunkin...

I'm trying to get back into running and on my jog today I was getting to the point where I was about to keel over and pass out if I didn't rehydrate soon. I figured I could just walk into a highland ave dunkin and get a quick cup of tap water and be on my way. Apparently they demanded "25 cents for the cup". Are you kidding me? I've never heard of such bullsh*t - is this some sort of sick work around? I thought it was was illegal to refuse someone tap water for free.

Can someone help me out here? I usually go to that dunkin all the time and now I'm honestly thinking about straight up taking my caffeine addiction business elsewhere.

I had a different experience at a bar/club in Dallas in 1994. I was kicked unconscious by a moshing crowd at a Lemonheads concert (WTF?) and some random dude dragged me out. My friends told me that he carried me to the bar to try to splash cold water on my face and they wouldn't give him any, even with a bruised and battered unconscious girl in his arms. Another random stranger paid for the water.

Not sure what the moral of this story is, but wanted to say that some bars don't give free water.

Almost all of the laws governing the sale and distribution of alcohol are state laws. Consequently there is little, if any, similarity between the liquor laws of Texas and the liquor laws of Massachusetts.

Damn, what bar was that?

It was some club in Deep Ellum that I doubt is still there!
