Plenty of cafés already have coffee mugs and glasses. I’m drinking a cup of coffee from a Homer Laughlin mug warmed atop the espresso machine at a small mom and pop establishment right now. When I’m done with it, it will go into a bus bin a few feet away and washed by the staff here whenever they’re not too busy to do a load of dishes.
If I had brought my own cup, it would have been a 10¢ discount but to be honest, their mugs are better than mine.
- jspash 8y agoSurely the 10¢ discount should be for the people who _don't_ bring their own cup. But since it's a small shop I assume the 10¢ "fee" is to subsidise the dishwashing labour.
- SllX 8y agoThe idea is you’re not paying for the takeaway cup, lid and (usually) sleeve, and you’re not using a store provided cup either.
