Re the Crystal Light thing -- if the manager goes by a table and sees the colored water, the server pays for the drink if not on the ticket, at least they do at this OG.

I'm a Cokehead. Won't drink anything else. If you serve Pepsi, I'm not drinking it nor am I drinking water. I always have Coke with me -- think it's become my trademark. If I'm in a restaurant that doesn't serve Coke, I simply ask for a glass of ice, ask the server to charge me for a soda and pour my own Coke. The restaurant gets its money, I get my Coke. Has worked well so far.

Seems like Crystal Light folks or those who think it is okay to squeeze a lemon and add sugar so they don't have to pay for a beverage could do the same thing -- explain they can't/won't drink the beverages offered but will pay for a glass of water and add their own flavoring.
