I'm so done with this

. $12 for a bottle of water? That's crazy! I mean, I get it, some places might not have the budget for free water stations, but charging patrons like that is just ridiculous. What's next, a $20 beer and a side of fries?
I'm all for venues taking care of their customers, but this is just basic human decency, you know? If people are gonna go out to party, they should at least have access to free water to stay hydrated. And what about the poor souls who can't even afford that much? It's not like it's a luxury item or anything.
I'm glad some places in other cities are taking steps to provide free water, though. San Francisco and Minnesota are doing it right, let's be real

. But New York City needs to step up its game here. We need more accessible hydration options, pronto!
And what's with the "it costs as much as a beer" excuse? That's just a cop-out

. If you're charging $10+ for a drink, you should be providing free water, too. It's all about prioritizing your customers' well-being and safety.
I'm not buying (pun intended) that free water is somehow gonna hurt the business or anything

. Newsflash: taking care of your patrons is good business. It builds trust and makes people more likely to come back. So, venues, listen up! Get it together and start providing free water already
