Portuguese here. You're confusing two things, Ian: tap water and bottled water. Only bottled water is paid, tap water is always free. Do they give bottled water for free in the US? Many people here go to a coffee shop or a bakery to have a coffee and a glass of water and that water is always free. However, only the bottled water that comes in closed containers is paid: there's a restaurant where I go 3 times a week for lunch in my city that has a machine to filter and better the tap water, so when I ask for water they bring me a glass bottle with a cap (that's supplied by the same company that supplies the machine) filled with water from that machine and that water is free. Those types of machines are everywhere, even in our Parliament.

What part of "Portuguese here" didn't you understand? I wasn't talking about Europe in general, although what happens here in Portugal also happens in the majority of european countries. But it's good to know that if I ever go to Chéquia I'll make sure to avoid bars, cafés or restaurants that have waitresses and choose the ones that have waiters.

@saya-mi - Oh, I see! I didn't see a tag, so I assumed you were replying to me. My sincere apologies, then. I don't know why Mr. Pavel Kutáč's name doesn't appear right next to his avatar, it's messing up YT's replying system. 😠

@saya-mi - Sorry but I've never heard of anyone putting lemon in a glass of tap water without the customer's consent just to charge for it here in Portugal!
