....lately, at fast food restaurants, if you ask for a cup of water (instead of shelling out $2 for a pop, or $3 for bottled water), they give you the SMALLEST cup you've ever seen? Some restaurants will give you a standard size plastic cup, sure, but a lot have taken to the dixie cup with a lid. Where do they find these tiny lids? They have to be specially made. So, at said restaurants, one now has three choices - 1) constantly getting up for a refill mid-meal (kind of annoying), 2) splurging on buying a beverage (which have a HUGE profit margin for the company), or 3) really rationing one's sips.
I think next time I'm offered a dollhouse sized cup of water, I'm going to ask for a spare five. If all the other water drinkers do this, it'll increase companies' costs and perhaps encourage them to shy away from said ridiculous new practice. Who's with me?!

I haven't noticed that. Maybe it's just you city folk that are getting shafted in regards to water. Most places I know do tend to give out smaller cups, but they're still the 8 oz size, and I haven't really noticed a big change. I'm a huge water drinker, so I guess I'm lucky that I don't frequent those places! haha
Ana - so glad you're back!
