I don’t like the way the automated staircases in malls make me think about personal safety.
But I also don’t like the habit of putting „non-drinkable water” at toilets.
In Romania, you generally need to do a bit of an effort to have non-drinkable water from the public system. If I build a house in a town/city, and I need water, I can’t get non-drinkable water from the municipality; all water is drinkable, by design.
It seems, therefore, that malls do an intentional gesture of „let’s have non-drinkable waters”.
They are not the only ones who do this. Airports do this, generally.
Compare the situation with the fact that restaurants are forced by law to provide drinkable water. But asking for tap water (free) at a restaurant is not the general practice.
I don’t like this practice.
