So I roll into Burger King yesterday for dinner on the run. I do the right thing and get a salad and a water. At first, they were slick and put bottled water in my order, but I explained to the guy I just wanted regular old tap water. So I pull up to the window and my order is over 50 cents more than it should be. So I ask why there is a difference. He points to the cup and says” water!" I look at him and say "you guys are charging for tap water now?" He nodded his head and I told him he could go ahead and hang on to that tap water. I then drove off. I felt bad being rude to the kid, but that is just ridiculous on so many levels.

I have gotten food poisoning twice form Burger King and that hasn't stopped me from going there. I've seen the horrible ways they treat the animals that make their burgers and that didn't stop me from coming back. However, charging me for something I could get absolutely free was where I drew the line. I can understand the bottled water concept. It is filtered and packaged and probably is as big of a rip off, but at least I feel like I'm getting something for my money. A cup and straw costs Burger King 2 and 1/2 cents... tops. OK, I'm done ranting. For now at least.
