| Yeah, but charging 50 rps for a glass of water ain't gonna make the difference is it now? To me it is just badwill (vs. goodwill).
I should also add that I have been to places where they charge the same for a glass of water as they do a bottle of water. That is fleecing you. | |

but do you go to a restaurant to drink tap-water ?
tap-water of course should be sold here for CHF 4.95 per decilitre

| I've alwys felt like a bit of an idiot ordering bottled water here, given the high quality of the tap water. I've never been refused or charged for Hahnenwasser though, though mostly this was alongside an alcoholic drink. | |

Sure, if you order a meal and some wine (or beer) your wish for some "Hahnenwasser" will be accepted

| I went to a restaurant in Zurich, ordered a nice plate of food, and asked for tap water. 2 CHF I was told, unless I ordered a glass of wine. WTF? Why bring it for free if I order a 8 CHF drink, but charge when I order a 30 CHF plate of food?
And as for charging for the "service" let's be honest - I worked in a lot of restaurants, and taking a glass of a shelf and turning on the faucet to fill it up - it's not that hard. Especially if you're already paying for the waiter's service with that plate of food. | |

Perfectly correct of course, except that I still fail to see why you need tapwater in the restaurant
