Why is it when you order water at a fast food place, you seem to get the smallest cup possible. I understand it’s designed so people see that you’re not stealing the soda and other drinks that cost them SOO much, but it’s not helping the customer out at all. I tend to drink a lot of water, and that’s not an exaggeration. I find it slightly offensive, but mostly annoying that I have to drink out of a small cup just because I don’t like to drink soda with my meal. I like to drink water, and lot of it, so there must be a solution that works for both the customer and supplier. How about using a normal size up, but make it clear, or a really bright color in order to see a difference. Regardless of what they want to do, they need to understand that ordering water does not mean someone wants a splash of water with their meal. It means they either want to watch their intake regarding drinks, or they would rather have water with their meal, neither of which they should be penalized for doing.

I can’t agree with you more, but why don’t you just ask for a larger glass when you get a small one and that would solve your problem. If they don’t have any large glasses for water, then tell them to give you 5 or 6 of the small ones. These are your choices, so what are you going to do?

Well I try, but most are saying “well that’s all you get” and I look at them and explain that I get THIRSTY when I eat and don’t want to spend half my time getting water instead of enjoying my meal. Either way I get screwed.
