We ate lunch at Molina's today. It's a local Tex-Mex spot. Waitress
asks us what we want to drink as we are seated. D sez she just wants
water.

"The water is real bad today," sez waitress. "It's the drought; the
lake's real low."

"Then the tea will taste bad, too."

"Yeah, but not as bad as the water."

We got lots of lemons, and they helped a little.

Too bad they didn't think to use bottled water.

The last time I was in Denmark we were in a hurry and tried to explain to
the waitress in the closest restaurant we could find that we were in a real
hurry. She took our food orders. My wife asked for wine. I said I just
wanted water. My wife asked for water too. The waitress brought 2 small
bottles of water...... $10 each. Ouch.

You're right - ouch. Actually, I was thinking that the restaurant could
use those large (Polar Bear?) drinking water vessels, not only for serving
customers by the glass but also for food prep
whenever the local water had a bad taste.

Tex-Mex places like Molina's don't do bottled water. It's not part of
their world view.

not a bad world view. i'm not opposed to drinking tap water. if it tastes
good to me, it's fine with me. unfortunately a lot of it tastes pretty bad.
sounds like molina's is missing a potentially profitable revenue stream by
not offering bottled water. molina's also sounds like my kind of place ;-)
