Ever since I found out I have diabetes I’ve pretty much stuck to drinking water. Sure, I could have diet soda, but I never developed a taste for it, so I decided not to start. I occassionally have diet lemonade or light cranberry juice, but usually it’s just water. Which apparently is frowned upon by the fast food industry.

Whenever Patrick and I order a fast food combo with water the people always give us a hard time. At best we get bottled water, but I really prefer ice water so that’s not what I’m ordering. Usually they try to talk us into a soda. Is it not ok if some people don’t drink soda? But often what we get is the tiny kids cup full of water. Most recently we ordered two combos with water and got one tiny kids cup. Not even two, just one. Now I understand that it is probably cheaper to just order the individual items in this case rather than the combo, but if we are willing to pay the extra money for the ease of ordering, should we not get the size drink that comes with the combo? It’s water, not gold, why are they rationing it? We aren’t ordering it to be cheap.

Anyway, I’m sure there is a simple solution to the problem, such as don’t eat out, but I find it all rather irritating!
