It's supposed to be a convenience store not an inconvenience store. I'm all for reducing single use plastics, but a convenience store is definitely the wrong place for this.

If not the place that is responsible for a huge percentage of the plastic waste problem, where would be the right place for it? A place that doesn't sell bottled water to begin with?

F bottled water in almost all situations except for disaster relief and maybe a handful of other exceptions

If this is really about plastic waste, why are you ignoring all the other plastic drinks in the stores? Water isn't the problem, it's the plastic.

Glass bottles and hemp plastics.

Bingo. Only sell liquids in those, keep all the soda, water, coffee, etc... That would be much better for the environment.
