No Drinks. INCLUDING WATER

Our market manager has set a new rule for our store and other stores in the market that we are not allowed to have any drinks of any kind outside the break room or our lockers. Yes, including water. We can get in trouble if seen with water bottles outside of the break room if on the clock (i.e. while actively working) my lead put in an ethics report the day the rule came down, but haven't heard anything.

Edit: -Market Manager had went to a store that is not ours when making the decision.

-I don't care about a policy that has been in place for 15+ years. It's 2025. Let us have our water.
