You are correct. The person has to have morals or a conscience. But with some people something prevents them from committing an illegal act even when the chance of getting caught is zero.
Other people have no problem committing the act even if the chance of getting caught is higher. They weigh the risks versus the benefits. They weigh the punishment versus the reward. They bring it down to a cost versus benefit analysis and make a decision.

That's how all decisions should be made.

But violating one's ideals is a cost.

@Fast Jimmy,

You really want to use that water bottle and fountain analogy? A friend of mine who is a marketing professor always laughs when i point that out. He referred me once to a song by Gil Scott Heron called Madison Avenue. One verse always stands out.

They can sell sand to a man livin' in the desert.
They can sell tuna to the chicken of the sea...
You are surrounded and confounded and
dumbfounded by the happenings yes it's true
it's Madison Avenue

It is all a matter of presentation and getting people to believe that your product is indispensable.
Most people cannot tell the difference between tap and bottled water. You may call it convenience I would call it laziness
and adding trash to the environment.

People are dumb.

And the taste of tap water varies greatly between cities.

Of course people can be dumb. How to you explain TV Shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo?

 

Bottled water also varies in taste depending on the source.

That is because you did not grow up drinking that particular tap water. I have had friends come from different parts of the US and tell me that Chicago water taste funny. Let us not get started with the well water in different states.

 

If you take tap water and spring water from the same state many people could not tell the difference for example Wisconsin has both spring and tap water from the same sources.

True still NY water was superior But yeah I ended up having to buy soda and juice the whole time that was fun D:

 

Really? Huh.

FWIW, water fountains that are chilled do seem to have filters or some kind of tech to improve the taste of tap water. IMO, of course.
