How I Put It To USAir

A coupla weeks ago I lamented the fact that USAir et al were charging pax $2 for a bottle of water in flight. I swore I'd never pay it. I'd buy water from an airport vendor and carry it on. Monday of this week I did exactly that. The vendor water bottle cost $2.25. I consoled myself by saying that it was probably a larger bottle than those dinky little bottles USAir was selling. It wasn't. It was exactly the same size. Damn. Then I found out that inflight coffee was cheaper than water. And refills were free. Then I got to thinking about all of the $2 soft drinks I had purchased, and all of the $2 coffee. I don't even flinch at those prices anymore. For the return flight I crawled on board and had a cuppa coffee. Then drank three refills! That oughta teach 'em a thing or two, I reckon. We'd love to post your comments.
