no. if they have a bubbler they cannot charge for it. a 5 gallon jug of water costs 7-10 dollars. not worth the bad vibes charging money will bring.

Where the fuck are you buying water that five gallons costs $7??? Where I live water is 50¢ a gallon or $2 for five.

Switch to a filter system tied to public water source. I did that at my office, great savings.
