All the places I’ve worked (pre and post Covid), virgin drinks are charged like sodas unless it’s something like a virgin Bloody Mary with lots of stuff in it.
So around here, currently, you’d be looking at like $3.50 for each of them, which is pretty close, assuming this is like a Mexican restaurant with free chips and salsa.
You can drink the tap water everywhere here. So if you ask for water at a restaurant that’s what you get and it will be free of charge. Some outdoor concert venues only keep bottled water and charge for it. That is considered a dick move.
Our local ski resort had water fountains since forever but ripped them out a couple years ago. Now your options are a $5 12oz bottle of water or a free 2oz plastic cup and a carafe that rarely gets filled. It’s horseshit lol
Yeah, not letting go of our social securities. Our political partiets are slowly shifting rightwards though. So those services are getting shittier. Our hospitals are for some reason supposed to not lose money now. Free healthcare, but at a budget.
Not to sound alarmist, but the Capitalists are planning to turn every country into American style privatization in every way. They do it in an insidious manner so you only notice incremental change. Protest like hell. We need you.
The fate of the rest of the world literally depends on the EU creating beneficial laws or becoming corrupt as well. Resist.

Free chips and salsa? What is this sourcery? Also a Virgin cocktail would be 5 us dollars at least over here.

Here in the Land of the Free, we may not have cheap healthcare, a real democracy, safety in schools, unrestricted book access, or affordable housing…
But at least we get free chips and salsa at Mexican restaurants. Oh and free water in restaurants.

I’ll trade you the free chips and salsa (and bread at some places), as well as the cheaper virgin drinks… for your social safety nets.
Deal? No? Damn.
