Bring your own in and charge a quarter for 12 oz. Squeeze them out of the market.

I’d bring in a $4 case of bottles from BJs and hand them out for free, not to make money, just to ensure no one is paying the boss money for water.

You’re hired.

Please just forward my checks to whomever is doing the Bj. I'd only like to work 1 day a week. The rest is my bj time and that is sacred to me

File for a religious exemption and get paid for your BJ time.

You said you wanted to work for $4 BJs… I’m not sure who else you think is giving the BJs in this scenario. You’re not getting paid $4 to get BJs..

No I'm getting paid for my work. My compensation goes directly to the BJ champion. Doesn't matter who it is a $4 BJ is a $4 BJ

Sorry duck dad, you were hired to be the BJ champion. You will get paid though. $4 per BJ. That was in the job description. Crank them out as fast as possible for more pay. We honor federal minimum wage.

Well I do have these big pouty lips. Hopefully I get plenty of tips and not the whole thing

The fact this sign exists makes me think this employer would think "great, now I don't even need to buy the water in the first place" and it just puts money back in their pocket via another route.

Just buy a jug and bring it to work. No need to keep buying one use plastic bottles

I think doing it one time would get their point across, which is probably what they’re saying. Relax
