Prices in vending machines increased?

^ I don't think a lot of people know that, and of course CP doesn't mention it, since they'd rather you bought a drink. I was walking during my first days here, and I saw someone order a free water, so I did the same.

when I swept I tried to inform guests about the free water
I never knew about it until I worked there

Twice this season I've had employees at two different stands insist that there was no free water. At one stand I pointed to the clear plastic shot glass cups and asked "if there's no free water, what are those for?" and they relented. The second time I simply moved to the next window over.

They are still using the tiny cups? Ergh!....When does Dick leave again?

It depends on which stand you go to. Some have the bigger ones and others the small ones.

Panda Express has a decently-sized free water cup
