  5 0 I would walk out of a proper restaurant that wouldn't give me a glass of water, but isn't Menchie's a frozen-yogurt joint? Not really a restaurant, is it? I still think they should have given you a paper cup of water, but, you know.... Fnarf answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report 4 comments by Bethany Jean Clement, Emily Steed, and Fnarf… 0 0 The fill-this-up-in-the-bathroom thing seems especially unfortunate, but I agree with Fnarf—my expectations for a big frozen yogurt chain would be that they want my money, not to give me a glass of water. Bethany Jean Clement commented about 1 year ago | Report 2 0 I agree that it's not a restaurant, but they do sell food. I'm always thirsty when I eat ice cream, and I try to avoid bottled water whenever I can as it's both terrible for the environment and also expensive. I suppose it just seems odd to me that even places like Starbucks provide free water, when I imagine they would prefer to sell the bottled water in the case. I'm not sure why they would give it away for free if there weren't a regulation/code/law requiring it. Emily Steed commented about 1 year ago | Report 2 0 Well, look on the bright side -- my first thought when you said "bowl" was "what, you want me to set it on the floor, too?" Fnarf commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 My guess is that Menchie's is a franchise and the franchise owner is being a dick about giving away cups for free, although now that I think about it a yogurt bowl/bathroom water cup would likely cost the same. Maybe the owner is just a dick for being the sake of a dick. I will remember to bring my water bottle if I ever go there again. I know of no city code requiring that restaurants provide water.

  2 0 I doubt that there is any law on the books about that, but it seems like common sense to provide such a basic dietary need when you are running a restaurant. Vote with your feet, or talk to the manager, or bitch on Yelp about it. Or all of the above! kitschnsync answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Black Beetles in Amber… 0 0 Yeah, for bad customer service, bitching on Yelp would probably have the best response.

  0 0 Pretty sure they have to. After all, they have to have bathrooms and that sort of thing... Either way, that's messed up. disintegrator answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by SeattleGuy… 3 0 I'm a 20+ year restaurant professional, while I can't say it's the law, it's the norm. I agree w/others walk out & spend your money elsewhere.
