Findhorn Fail - what no water refill? = disappointment, not dislike.

I stopped off on a long bike ride needing to refill my water bottle. I use the Refill app that lists places that are part of the movement to reduce plastic water bottle waste by offering refills. The foundation wasn't on it, but I assumed it was an oversight considering it's planet friendly ethos.
Sadly I was mistaken. I'm sure they would have filled my bottle if I'd used the cafe, but I didn't have time.
I had planned to buy food in the shop in gratitude for the service, which I did anyway and ended up buying drinks in plastic bottles and cartons - Findhorn-fail poor planet
The shop worker was embarrassed and very apologetic, but didn't know if the water in the public toilets was drinkable, not a pleasant place to top up.
I was disappointed that an organisation with the foundations ethos isn't pioneering stuff like this.
The staff were friendly, if unable to help, the variety in the shop was very good.
If my visit had been for any other reason I'd give a higher score, but sadly too much plastic and too little plastic avoidance. Costa Coffee 5 miles away are in the Refill scheme, I'll go there next time.
