Go there every day and ask for a water. It's free, but you're costing them a tiny amount each time.

Oh I was gonna recommend arson. Maybe your plan is better

Well you gotta use up all their water first

Free water, arson, bricks, and bullhorns. With these four powers combined, I am.. Captain Protest!

Your plan is certainly quicker, which is an upside.

Insurance will cover it, so you’re just hurting everyone else who has to pay for insurance.

Also grab something on the way out and don't pay for it.

Buy stuff and then return it, over and over? I couldn't do this with Starbucks because I wouldn't want to even smell it.
