Part of my fancy-ass job is to take people out to lunch. Today I went to Wish, on Charles Street E., downtown. We ordered a basic lunch but the bill was giant. "Why?", you ask? Because we paid $17.00 FOR WATER. Once we found out that the water cost $8.50 a bottle, WITHOUT TAX, we drank every last drop.
Sigh.

That must have been SOME water!!!
OH. I've been there for dinner once. And we ordered water. But umm...I didn't see the bill so I had no idea. Wow!
(I do remember thinking that it was a rather fancy bottle...)
SNAP!
Titally fancy bottle. Totally NOT worth $18.00 though—and then I felt super-guilty about drinking water imported all the way from Norway, and all the environmental no-nos that entails. A girl just can't win.
$17.00 for 2 bottles of water?!?! That should be illegal. That was my food budget for 1 week while in University.
