$2 for a bottle of water is a robbery
It may be, but it's a standard price that you would find outside of a sporting event.
$2.75 at the vending machine at work.
Mother of face fucking god, that's terrible pricing. We're buying 6packs of 1.5L bottles of carbonated water sometimes and it's like 2-3 Euros, and contains more than 24 times more water than this joke of a bottle o.O
Yeah, but ours comes bundled with a disposable handgun and six rounds.
Well of course, that's the point of being in a captive audience, like at the movie theater or airport. At least they aren't bleeding you for $8.50 for the same bottle. Makes it hurt a little less if one of your treats in life is watching a game, and someone needs to start the precedent of slowing down the momentum of overcharging for basic goods
