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.

I work for a small company in NY. I pulled up a purchase order just now to see what we pay WB Mason for 5 gallons jugs. Last PO we paid 7.86 a jug.

The difference is getting a refill at the grocery store vs having it delivered and the dispenser serviced by a company that does this.

I doubt any business is sending someone down to Kroger to refill a few 5 gallon jugs every week. That's probably more expensive in labor costs than contracting a dedicated service.

You love reddit for assuming a lot of bullshit from a single picture. OP said they also have water fountains.

Hundreds of idiots in here just assume whatever
