The not so friendly woman behind the counter says we do not hand cups out for water anymore. Keep in mind the high menu prices and for years now the customer has to serve themselves for drinks making it less work for the employees and saving time. Are cups like a couple cents a piece? There are no other options as well. You cannot bring in your own drinks or outside cups, I'm assuming for health reasons. I'm not a big fast food person but everytime I went to one, I have always gotten a cup for water. Even after I walked out after cancelling my order, I went to another restaurant and gotten a cup for water like always.
I would avoid this restaurant. What's next, "would you like ice with your drink for 50 cents more?"

That could come ! I was at a Dunkin' D some years ago now. I was eating donuts and had finished my coffee and thrown away the cup since they don't refill. Unfortunately I began to choke, a customer came to my aid, her husband ran to the counter, told clerk to quick give him some water that someone was in distress, she refsed to do so unless he produced and quarter (and she was intent on ringing it up first BEFORE getting the water !) Meanwhile, another customer in the line quickly found a quarter and literally flipped it to her, and another man, who actually reached me before that other two who were finally able to buy a cup of water (there was no free fountain in the place) had RUN to his car which was directly in front, gabbed a new bottle of water, and got to me first, after the wife of the first man who went for the water had successfully used the Heimlich maneuver. But that shows the lengths some businesses (of course not all) will go to for a QUARTER !
