why are you getting plain water from the soda machine when there HAVE to be semi-decent water fountains in a hospital? the powerade splashed water is on you at that point.

Water fountains aren’t usually positioned as part of a cafeteria line. They are also slower and have weird angles, not always being convenient to fill up a cup from.

My hospital doesn't really have very many water fountains. I think there may be one near the public restrooms on the main floors, but I think that's it. We have a water cooler in my clinic's break room, but no water fountains near the cafeteria.

I work for a state run hospital in one of the poorer states in the nation. We don't have a lot of amenities.... And unfortunately not a lot of people drink water here.
