I'm in college, and live in the dorms, where I am required to have a meal plan. I have 19 meals per week.
My degree requires lots of lab work, on the 11th floor of a building, and we wear lab coats. I love getting ice water after my lab, especially since I have to walk all the way across campus. My water bottle is insulated, so it keeps ice for a while, which I LOVE. I go to fill my water bottle with ice, and an upper level worker stops me.
Worker: ma'am, ma'am, no filling personal bottles here.
Me: the workers do it all the time.
Worker: it's in their contract.
Me: okay.
I bet not, but sure. I know workers get free food and beverages both on and off shift, and I always see them using and filling personal bottles. I don't know why I can't, their bottles can also be gross and unclean. Using a reusable bottle is more eco friendly, anyway.
My dining hall likes to be "climate friendly" but they use A LOT of paper plates and plastic silverware, especially when they serve at least 2000 people per day. So, I looked the worker in the face and filled my water bottle with a paper cup. It took so much longer and was more wasteful than if he had just ignored me.
He shook his head and walked away. Now I fill my water bottle with no problems and enjoy my ice water whenever I want.
