Is water served on your local McDonald's.

Well, in Singapore, the customers may ask for plain water from the McDonald's. Even if the customer asked, they only give a very small cup of water.

Hi ramesh,We are extremely lucky in this area to not have such an outlet serving rehydrated junk food, there really wouldn't be any point as no one would eat it. So I really don't know if they offer water or not but they wouldn't last long if they didn't as everywhere offers a glass of water whenever one sits down anywhere over here. I don't tend to want it in the winter but they bring it anyway but in the summer I often order a coffee just to have the free water which of course they'll fill up as many times as one likes.

rameshkumaar57, I am just concerned with your "vehemency" about some McDonald's selling drinking water. I feel that you should look at your country's situation where drinking water is never readily available and free. So from the business perspective when drinking water is not free of charge, then how could you expect any business to offer it for free? So, it is only normal for drinking water to be sold commercially in your country. As such, I just do not think serving unsealed or not properly packed drinking water to be a safe and good practice. In some countries where drinking water is available all round and easy, it would be quite a norm for it to be offered freely by any food restaurants or entertainment outlets. However, that is also not be generalize that everyone will observe it when some just prefer to be commercially minded. It is just normal and there's just no stopping for some who prefer to be more "money minded" after all every business is simply out to earn money, right? Take care.

During drought conditions this past summer, severe water restrictions were imposed on the city of San Antonio, Texas. Among other restrictions, all restaurants were told not to serve water to customers unless they explicitly requested it. Most water restrictions have since been removed, but I have noticed that at places I have eaten, water is no longer automatically brought by the waitress. I don't know for sure if McDonalds gives free water upon request, but I expect that they do.

Unfortunately, they only sell bottled water here in McDonald's, and refuse when you ask for simple tap water. Actually, I recently discovered that here in the UK, it is against the law for ANY restaurant or food-place to refuse their customers tap water, because it is included when you pay for your water tax, or something along those lines.

Mcdonalds in our place offer water. But I am not really sure if it's tap water or mineral water. But it's a cold one. They sell bottled mineral water, the free ones I think are the tap waters.

Yes, in USA, you can request free tap water. Most of time people are given little cups. It's better to buy a drink or bottle water, or if possible, bring your own. Hehehe. I mean it's really small the cup they give (4 fluid ounces/125 mL). You'd have to refill it so much! Did you check with your local MD? I know sometimes they don't function the same way as each one does. For example, perhaps in India they have a policy where they don't give free tap water as a way to control their expenses. Did you ask other people in India if they get free water?

Yes but only in some outlets. I've seen few outlets keep a 10 litre water bottle-tank with a tap. In other outlets I have to ask them for drinking water.

Here in the UK I know you can buy bottles of water in McDonalds, not sure you can request it for free though.
