It is a small point that is often overlooked. It's one of those minor things that shows just how much you value those coming in contact with your company. My favorite addition to this is when you have to pay for a cup and it's still smaller than the normal sized cup. I agree entirely. It is a small point that is often overlooked.

They offer you sparkling or mineral. Then having to just say 'regular' water is fine, just sounds so cheap. Again, here we have yet another place that was once to be a place of enjoying yourself, making us feel less than worthy. As the teenie weenie Dixie Cup... maybe it is a cost factor. I have asked for water at Starbucks and they are always handing me a nice fat plastic cup when really, they could just give it to me in a glass. Maybe the Dixie Cup is more environmentally friendly? All in all, yeah it sucks, but look at the bigger picture! I gotta agree with you on the part when you go into a restaurant nowadays and ask for water. They offer you sparkling or mineral.

I interrupted a young man with a paper hat that was filling someone else's order -asked him for some water and he gave me a full size cup with ice! . On the trip back from Disneyworld we drove 20 or so miles out of the way to stop in again. Best Ice Cream EVER and free water too.
