Buy a meal at a fast food pay for tap water

They are being phased out in the US as well.
I actually pulled into a McDonalds while travelling about 6 months ago. I wanted a coffee and I needed to use the wifi - I couldn't get pulled up what I needed on my phone.

It was clear to me they didn't really want anyone inside at all. I think there pretty much getting set up to do drive through only. I think they much preferred the pandemic - when they just locked everyone out. Much cheaper - don't need as much staff.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if fast food establishments will eventually be drive thru or pick up only; pennies become dollars. I had this thought before the pandemic; was typing at the same time as @SC Maintenance. (y)

WiFi
Restrooms
Condiments
Paper products
Straws
Sodas when only paying for water

All for the taking, and it all adds up when people abuse the system; nothing new here. I meet a colleague at 7AM on certain weekends for coffee and see it all, it's pathetic.

Around that time, several locations near me just cut a small sliding window in the side of the door to take orders or for pickup. But they fixed it up quickly as soon as they didn't need it any more.

You just wouldn't see that if you go back to the mid 80s and prior. I'm sure there were a rare few but in general it just did not happen. Common decency has been gone in the USA for many decades now.
