If you think that's a lot of water, any restaurant would probably double water waste in serving unasked cups, washing dishes by hand then in the dishwasher, and spills. Car washes are designed to waste water.
And the biggest misuse of water isn't Starbucks, by a long shot.
It's bottled water.
There are thousands of brands of bottled water. America spends 8 billion dollars a year on it.
A study from Oregon State University:
"Around the world, factories are using more than 18 million barrels of oil and up to 130 billion gallons of fresh water" and that's just to make the bottles, "Another 41 billion gallons of water is then used to fill them."
It costs more per gallon for bottled water than for gasoline.
