Drinking fountains


1938 Packard

Recommended Posts

Remember those?  A guy on the radio laments that they are rare these days.  He says it's because the advent of bottled water has eliminated the need for them.  I say good riddance.  They're a health hazard.  I see the few that remain are just plain filthy.

 

Do I remember the things I see in every school, hospital, Airport, municipal building, Walmart, a few parks, etc?

 

Yeah, I remember the things that are still everywhere

That's what they all say until their services are no longer desired.

 

There are no water fountains

Smart peole pay bills they haven't gotten yet

Panara Bread has a sandwich with 1 slice of turkey

People with dreads are all criminals, but a rattail really sells the illusion of professionalism

Cigarettes/smokers have no odor

Your 1978 radio performs better than anything recently released.

 

This....This is the completely retarded world that you've created in which I am a less desired employee than the guy that takes out the trash.  If you drop dead right now, they will replace you in 15 minutes with an obese woman named Lupe.

Folding a slice of turkey doesn't double the amount.

The ones in Chicago Public Schools have only the finest lead piping.

You might find a drinking fountain or a Norge refrigerator, that doesn't make either as ubiquitous as vending machines.

 

No Packard, no moving the goalposts.....This isn't about the ubiquity of vending machines vs water fountains......You asked if we remember them as if they no longer exist when they are literally everywhere.  Sure your Casino has several.

What does this have to do with the fact water that fountains are still all over the place?

I'm not seeing them "all over the place",  mainly because they are expensive to run and don't present any gain for the owner.  Vending machines that distribute water in bottles have replaced the fountains.

I can clean one thirty times a day, but it would still be dirty when somebody uses it as an ash tray three minute after I walk away to clean something else.  Another reason I'm not seeing them anymore.

 

Yeah but, like if nobody is there to see the cigarette ash placed there, did it really happen? How would anyone know?
