Bottled Water

There are places in the world where it is unsafe to drink the local water supply, and you would be best served by drinking bottled water. Most municipalities in Canada and the United States do not fall into this category. Why then do so many of us insist on buying bottled water, at a cost that defies belief when compared to turning on your tap. I’m not talking about the occasional bottle on a hot day when you’re out and about. I’m talking about the individual serving bottles that are sold by the case at your local grocery store.

Manners and the Lack Thereof

The young woman behind the counter had obviously never met my mother. I approached the counter, purchase in hand, said “hello”, and handed my goods to her to ring in. There was no acknowledgement of my greeting, let alone of me. She made no eye contact, her attention glued to the cell phone growing out of her left hand. I may as well have been invisible. She rang in my purchase with her right hand and declared to the Lays potato chips poster on the wall “$4.24”. Not “that’ll be four dollars and 24 cents please.” No, just “$4.24”.
