Dining out and enjoying meals at our favourite restaurants is an activity that we all eagerly look forward to. When it comes to enjoying good food, we are willing to spend a little bit extra too. However, when the meal ends up being too costly and that too for no reason, it does leave a little bit of disappointment behind. Recently, a customer visited a fancy restaurant for a meal and was quite surprised to see that they charged Rs 350 for a bottle of water. What she did next will leave you surprised and make you relate. Take a look at the tweet here:

Met up with a friend at this fancy restaurant for lunch, and you won't believe they charged 350 rps for a bottle of water!
So, I decided to bring the bottle home with me so that I can reuse it. Is it only me or u have done this too? pic.twitter.com/AecGPLuoV8— Ritika Borah (@coach_ritika) July 10, 2023

In the picture, we could see a tall glass bottle of 660ml quantity that the user was served at a restaurant where she visited with a friend for lunch. As per Borah, she was charged Rs 350 for this glass bottle packed with 'natural mineral water'.
"Met up with a friend at this fancy restaurant for lunch, and you won't believe they charged Rs 350 for a bottle of water," read the tweet. So, what the Twitter user decided to do was to carry the bottle home and reuse it as she was charged for it in her bill. "I decided to bring the bottle home with me so that I can reuse it. Is it only me or you have done this too," questioned the user in his tweet.
The tweet struck a chord with many internet users online. A plethora of them shared that they did the same with the restaurants they visited. Others said that they always asked for regular water at restaurants instead of bottled mineral water which was quite costly. Take a look at the reactions to the post:

Yeah always ask for regular water. Nue cafe started placing these bottles last year. I had to strictly tell them that they should ask before opening the bottle.— Niraj Dugar (@contliving) July 10, 2023

I was given regular water at Dum Phuk in ITC Kohenur and at the end, I bought a bottle just cuz I wanted to! Always suggest the server to bring regular water if you don't want to overpay for water!— Akshay (@a_akshayy) July 10, 2023
