Mass quantities of bottled water

[Anonymous]

Every time I go to Costco, I’m always amazed by how much bottled water people buy. Like today, I saw several customers buying 10 cases or more at a time. And all that plastic waste. One Brita filter can take care of all of that.

Then make the companies producing and packaging stop.

I think it should be taxed more in areas with clean drinking water.

Probably for a food truck or other small business

I bought ten cases recently to stock the concession stand for our high school homecoming game. We sold every one.

I doubt they would have liked standing in line while we refilled cups from a Brita filter.

Next time you go to get your nails done or buy a taco ant a food truck and they offer you a bottle of water, just remember they have to buy it from Costco too.

It should be banned. Our town in New England banned single serving bottles. You can buy a box if you want single.

Ah this makes sense. I've always wondered about this when I see it at the Wheaton costco and I don't judge, I'm just curious as I stand in line. I assumed the issue was concern about drinking water safety or something.

fwiw, 100% of the people I've seen over the years who were buying literally hundreds of bottles of water a one time were Hispanic or, very rarely, African.

emanada stands and convenience stores make sense

Bottled water needs to be made illegal. Period.

Not only is it horrendously wasteful and terrible for environment, it is extremely bad for the user. They're now finding micro plastics in the testicles and brains of many people. Bottled water contains magnitudes of more micro plastics than tap.

Too bad, they should.

Carry around a thermos or smaller size water cooler.

Because they can.
