Restaurants do serve just soda/sparkling water, you just never asked for it before.

Classic sit down restaurants, yes. I’ve never seen it in a fast food restaurant.

“Do you have the button on the Sprite that leyd you get just soda water?”

“What? You want water?”

“Sparkling water, from the sprite fountain”

“So… Sprite?”

“No, I can see it from here, you know how you get water for water cups from the lemonade one? The Sprite has one of those extra buttons too.”

“I have to charge you for Sprite, you should just get a Sprite.”

“Look the line is backing up, can I just Sprite with no syrup please, I’ll pay for a soda.”

“I guess so…? I have to ask the manager.”

Frankly, I'd totally count it as free like the regular water, at least if the soda fountain is self-serve.
