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 know that some of them do charge for cups - it's not about the water. many people (like me, on the rare occasion i get something since i don't drink coffee) will ask for an extra cup to put their cold drink in, so the condensation doesn't get all over your hands/desk/etc. i guess this started catching on and they started charging for the extra cup. not all of them do this though, or do it consistently.
