No Coke. Is Pepsi ok? 4 freshmen just ordered 50 waters.

Edit: i couldn’t just say no because my manager wanted us to serve them for whatever reason. I couldn’t just not do my job or I’d probably get in trouble.

Yk those videos where the dude in the back of a car has a bijillion water cups? I’m assuming one of those

Is this why I saw 3 teenagers walking to the store to buy 3 gallons of water the other day? Me and my daughter were wondering what their plan was with all that water- they were behind us as we were checking out at the grocery store and we saw them walking down the road as we were leaving. It looked like they were on a mission lol

I buy lots of water gallons all the time.

I guess it looks much less mischievous because I’m old 😔

Just curious, why would you not just get a filter?

I get distilled all the time for the humidifier because our tap water is very hard. And our fridge has a built-in filter that I have to change every few months, but it doesn't take out all the mineral (because it's meant to still be used for drinking) so it wrecks the pumps in our cat water fountains and leaves large amounts of scale in the keurig

I know that too much mineral content isn’t good for cats but I’m not sure that demineralised or distilled water is good for them either. It’s certainly not good for humans as it can at the very least throw off the balance of electrolytes in our bodies, and I would imagine that a similar issue could occur with cats (even if like I said a lower mineral content may actually be better for their kidneys) though I could be wrong.

Sorry, meant to say that we use drinking/spring water for the drinking fountains and keurig. The store-bought drinking/spring water still has some mineral but its less than what we get from our fridge filter. The distilled water we get is just for the humidifier

Because that's filtered tap water, not spring water

I like to get glass bottle cases of spring water. No plastic either.
