AED 100 … only in the water

Kris was having dinner with his family or six when he noticed something strange: his water bill was 100. Without gold flakes, without magic, only a good old H2O. The restaurant served non -local water and 330 ml bottles, which increased the cost. Naturally, Kris had a moment of PSA.

He believed that restaurants assume local water marks and a full -size water bottle.

It has a point …

For the context: a 500 ml bottle of Mai Dubai (local brand) is only AED 0.79 in Carrefour, while Voss is located in AED 5.79 for the same size. Multiply that for a large table, and yes, the water bill begins to look like a brunch buffet … unfortunately.

But let’s be fair. Restaurant owners not only have profits. They have a high rental, to the increase in wages, public services invoices, license fees: the list continues. Each fall is added (literally and financial), so the price or reflects that.

Do everyone agree real online?

What is more shocking than Kris’s water bill? The fact that everyone seems to be on the same page. Social networks comments entered with full support.

It is strange to see this level of unity online, but let Kris faded to join the Internet on bottled water.
