    Here in the US, this seems so normal that it didnt even occur to me that this may not be true everywhere else. And not need to be enforced by law.

      A lot of places in the US will charge you for the cup or say they only offer bottled water for sale.

        Ive definitely never, ever run into that. But I’m sure it happens.

        Edit: I guess ive seen places that charged some nominal fee for the cup but it’s so rare

          I went to Philadelphia and there were hardly any places to get water at all. There were always stores selling water bottles literally $8 in one instance around nearly everywhere you looked

      Arizona has several long-standing laws on the books requiring both public government properties and businesses to provide drinking water without cost or other barrier to access. Businesses can’t even charge for the cup.

      Common courtesy unfortunately doesn’t go far enough, especially when it matters most, so law is required.
