My two bits:
(1) They do charge for cups ($0.05 for large styrofoam). I've two before me and
I always forgot to bring them along.
(2) They do have water. Both by the woks in "chopsticks" and behind all the
coffee urns in the muffin nook (but they charge $.10 for smaller glasses).
(3) They are not "supposed" to give out water -- all servers with whom I've
spoken say it is manager's orders. The nearest fountain is a long walk.
(4) My solution (almost): take hot tea water, add crushed ice, season to taste.
But the solution is lacking (bad pun): all those pop dispensers and no ice!
:-(.
WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO: rave about how *wonderful* the soft-drinks are and
how much *better* they would be with ice. Hope they don't figure out (4).
