Me too. If it is free they wouldn't care if someone had taken a bath in it.

A lot of assumptions based on a single photograph are being made here.
People should put their cell phone cameras away and MTOB.

If what you guys are saying is true, then why couldn't the customer will the bucket with water from the bathroom faucet? Tap water in the US is safe to drink for people (Flint, MI nonewithstanding), so it's equally safe for dogs. And car radiators should be filled with distilled water, if coolant fluid isn't available. In which case, there's no benefit in using a soda fountain instead of a bathroom faucet, because neither of these waters is distilled. (Although in a pinch, tap water is better than letting the radiator run dry.)
Something smells fishy, and it's not the oil in the fryers. This story is pretty damn weird!

I travel with my small dog. I'll ask for a glass of ice water. I don't fill it up in the bathroom. I get it from the people at the counter or at the soda machine. Sometimes they will provide a small bowl instead of a glass, but I don't think I've ever hand me something the size of a quart or larger. My dog is pretty spoiled. He won't drink water from the tap if that's not what I'm drinking. Lol! He likes his water cold from a bottle or with ice cubes. He will drink out of a cup.

I had thought it might be water from the beginning and it makes total sense to me that someone would fill it up at the fountain. It's easier than having to deal with opening a bathroom door while carrying a full container of water plus trying to fit a large container under the faucet of a small sink isn't going to work very well either.

If you click on the link in the OP, there is a picture of the guy filling up his bucket. He is filling it up with Sierra Mist, not water.
Example, if someone comes in and buys $20 in gas and steals a fountain drink, or refills a super large cup/ bucket, no actual theft occurred, the markup on the fuel alone makes up the difference.
Unless they paid for that fountain drink, yes it is theft. Buying something else doesn't entitle you to also take anything else you want from a business.

I've seen people go into a local Burger King, when I lived in Arizona, and either order some food without a drink or not even order anything at all, and just walk over to the soda machine and use their "Polar Pop" cup from Circle K and fill it up with soda. Saw it numerous times and never once did the staff/manager say a word.
