I'm sure I just took this picture for the Banner welcome sign (which I always like, other than the weird "Freddy's" branding), but looking back, I have to laugh at the signs on the water machine claiming that you will "save" by paying "only" around 40 times what tap water costs. (I'm basing that on Seattle Public Utilities' marketing that tap water costs around a cent per gallon; the actual utility rates for Seattle are a good bit less than that, but then there are fixed monthly charges and extra fees and such, which I'm unfamiliar with since I've only ever lived in multifamily buildings in Seattle so I've never gotten a proper water bill direct from the city.) I get that this store is way out on the edge of the suburbs where a lot of people who shop here probably have well water, which can be pretty bad, but regular tap water around here tastes way better than bottled, so I don't understand why most people buy stuff like this.
