Are you the person that bitches about home prices and expects homeowners to sell for less than market value to not be "greedy"?

I use the fountain cup and fill it with just a small amount of ice and will get the biggie gulp size cup and put water in it. It's $0.75 that's way and you get a ton of water cause like you said, it's obnoxious how much the bottles cost.

The soda fountain with the Polar Pops has a water fountain on it. Much cheaper than bottled. Your issue was buying a bottled drink, which is always more expensive

It's not. You're just buying it at the wrong place.

Because beer is only part water (except Coors Light of course) and water is 100% water.

You already pay a water bill.
Put it in a cup for no extra cost.

How do you expect the higher ups at Dasani, Ozarka, (insert major water bottle company) to get to their next meeting? I can assure you they are not driving

You realize you can. It a gallon of water at the same gas station, probably not cold though, and it's around $1

Bottled water is one of the greatest cons ever pulled.

There is demand for it at the current price. It's a fairly inelastic good so companies are better off selling at a higher price. Relatively straightforward economics.

Pricing is not based on cost, rather the value of the product to the end user.

Hudson News in the airports looks at the gas stations like a bunch of amateurs. I paid $3.99 this morning.

The water is better for your engine. It will flush out all the impurities.
