The Price of Water

Peter and I went to a movie last night. As we were at the concession counter, this was the conversation that took place:

Employee: Hi, what can I get for you?
Me: Is it possible to just get water in a cup or do you just sell bottled water?
Employee: Just bottled water. But if you want, I could sell you a paper cup, and then you can fill it up with water.
Me: Oh, okay. How much is a cup?
Employee: $3.75
Me: (What!?!!?!?!) Oh, okay, and how much is the bottled water?
Employee: $3.00
Me: (Sigh) Okay, then I guess I'll take the bottled water for $3.00.
Peter: And I'll have a small Coke with just a little ice.
Employee: For just a quarter more, you can upgrade that to a medium for a little more soda.
Peter: No, thanks.
Employee: Okay, your total comes to $6.75, and just so you know, you get free refills on the pop.

This reminds me of why we usually sneak our sodas and treats into the theatre!
