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.

Each Dunkin Donuts is individually owned, so I don't blame them for asking for the .25.

They are essentially a small business, even though it's under a franchise umbrella.

I find them extremely friendly at that location, and very hard working.

This. What does "apparently they demanded '25 cents for the cup'" mean? Either they did demand it, or they didn't. If they were rude to you, don't go there anymore. If they asked for it nicely and you didn't want to pay it, politely explain to them why. Either way, I wouldn't go around saying nasty things about a business when it isn't necessary.
