Last Friday my wife and I were travelling to VaBch and stopped
at the Ashland exit on I95 just north of Richmond and went into
a Popeye's right off the Interstate. The approximately $1-1.50 higher
price on a std 3 piece chicken dinner for a resturant right off the Interstate
I was not pleased by but not surprised by either. What did surprise me
was being told that water would be 0.20 (for the cup). Not much money to
be sure but I objected on principle and asked politely to speak with the
manager who came out and gave me alot of rationalizations about the charge.
I twice asked him if he himself expected to pay for water when purchasing
a meal. More rationalizations and no answer to my question. We declined
to buy water, bought the minimum we could (2 2 piece dinners, no drinks
for nearly $9.00) ate and left. I should have left without buying anything.
I will not be going back to that establishment on any future trips.

Comments?

I've seriously considered writing to both the syndicate headqtrs for Popeyes
and to the establishment in question basically to ask them if they really
think that the practice described above is a good way to do business.
