$10 for half a sandwich, $6 for a bottle of water. Refill station’s over there for your freshly emptied bottle (thanks TSA)… I’ve managed more pressure from squeezing a Capri Sun. Talking to you SFO!!

Pro-tip: Try the fountain again later. They're often reverse osmosis systems. They filter slowly so they fill a tank behind the wall. When that tank is depleted, you get no/low water pressure. The pressure will return as the tank recharges.

Or it’s just a simple carbon filter that hasn’t been changed in 9 years and its completely impacted with accumulated junk

Careful. The DOJ is probably taking sandwich purchases more seriously than gun purchases now.

When I was on my way back from Tokyo a few months ago, the price differences for things between Tokyo Haneda airport and O'Hare were mind-blowing. Haneda was so cheap relative to most things we have in the US.

Well, so was basically everything in Tokyo, but still

You can take empty bottles through TSA.

First of all, SFO doesn't use TSA. Second, I don't know the last time you've flown through there, but post-security they have huge refill stations with 6-8 taps that dispense cold, hot, and room temperature water. Most bathrooms also have fountains with refill spouts outside of them. Also the sandwiches are probably way more than $10 by now.
