It had NO impact when we made the change. We feel .25 cents for a cup of water is reasonable since businesses should not have to take a loss (cup, lid and straw) to give guests FREE water and I would imagine they are trying to "curb" the water usage hoping if people have to pay .25 they may just get a drink. People tend not to realize that cups, lids and straws all cost take out restaurants money and we feel businesses should pass on the cost to the consumer.
