Jugs ‘o water

Kerry-Anne commented on the fact that in the USA we're always presented with glasses of water upon arrival at a restaurant - which is probably always a good thing as it's believed that people are in a permanent state of dehydration.

It's interesting how this norm in America is most often not even a consideration in South Africa, and how at times one has to ask for water more than once before it arrives - almost as though the staff delay the free drink so that one orders more paid drinks.
