This always strikes me as a sanitation nightmare, when I see staff heading over the sink to rinse out... who knows what. Most cups are probably fairly clean, but I imagine a portion of them being a problem to one degree or another.
After staff rinses the cup, do they wash their hands? How careful are or do they need to be in avoiding cross contamination when they handle the equipment to fill the cup?
Then again, they are already handling money from customers, so I don't know whether it really makes much difference. But while I appreciate the sentiment of bring your own, I always wonder how much staff time, cleanliness, water (hot water?), etc. it is costing. (I don't know -- just wonder.)
- Groxx 16y agoHow about blasting it with steam for 30 seconds? And I do mean blasting, none of that wimpy froth-your-milk-wand stuff. That'd sanitize it and pre-heat your mug, and requires no questionable fingers on the inside.
