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.

A lot of cafes I visit have special cups just for the (free) water. Like, a soda cup will be paper with the Coca Cola logo on it, but the water cups will be plain clear plastic. I always thought they used clear cups for water so you couldn't "cheat" and put Coke in a cup but just SAY it's water, but the cup counting thing makes more sense...
