Here’s something that could be provided for free. Instead of innovating, I’m going to invent a shit version of this thing, give you free access to that, and then charge for the original version.
Cooling and filtering water is hardly free, nor is the added maintenance. I don't know the context here but it may be something the building should be paying for.
At that rate, I'll just go outside and drink from the hose.
Just let it flow for a minute or two to reduce the intake of those nasty hose chemicals.
And flush out the earwigs

The best part about this is that the thumbnail makes the device like a face that's very fed up with this shit.

I can't say I really hate this. If a company is willing to maintain this so there is always free water alongside a purchase option, it doesnt seem so bad.

A public fountain? Oh yeah that shit will get destroyed or stolen within a week.
Anything that requires an app for payment is something I never use. No exceptions so far.
