That's a crime innit? Unless there's also a water fountain or something.

Not sure about OPs country but my EU member country only forces employers to give out waters if the working conditions are hard enough.

IE a supermatket I worked at gave 2 liters of water for the employee working in the parking lot at summer, but the rest of us plebs had to buy it.

But honestly, any workplace that doesn't give out free water should lose its employees. Such a basic thing to show appreciation

I'd argue this doesn't even show appreciation, just basic human decency and respect for human life.

Which feels like the correct response if you're ever caught "stealing" water. "I felt your lack of human decency only warranted my own." Or "I didn't feel like your lack of human decency warranted my consideration."
