I've just bought a reusable starbucks cup (£1) for my lattes now. You get a discount each time you use it as well so the incentive is there to keep using it.

5 days in and I've made a positive ecological change

oh and they said I could give it to them dirty (OI OI, WHAT A LAD) and they'd rinse it out before use anyway, no need to piss about trying to get it cleaned when on the go

Will probably get one as well, but the annoying bit is when I go to the office, I get them from the drive through. Problem being that they do the drink while you're in the queue.

What they should do is let you buy the reusable one and put the drink in a new one. But when you pay for it you swap your cup round.

a drive through coffee

you fucking pig

Chuckles · 05-01-2018, 09:13

this is for ones to take into the office on the way to work though. Not ones to drink in while messing round on a macbook wearing earpods.

SURELY THAT'S ACCEPTABLE

Malcolm Tucker · 05-01-2018, 09:15

are you the coffee boy or something ffs

Chuckles · 05-01-2018, 09:19

3 shot latte on the go while firing up theguardian.com and visual studio. That is office morning routine

Northerner · 05-01-2018, 09:38

Also done this with Costa this morning. 3 shot skinny latte.

Not sure why I haven't done it in the past. It's a bit like when you had to pay for carriers in supermarkets, just need to get used to it.

The issue with this though compared to a carrier bag for example is that a coffee mug is a lit bulkier. I use my own mug when I go to the coffee shops near my work
What they should actually be doing is making the cups themselves a bit more robust so the shops themselves can wash and reuse them rather than binning them.

Also fuck off with a 25p tax that’s way too high. Given the amount some places are charging already a pint would be cheaper. More places should be offering a discount & advertising the fact. My usual go-to coffee shop doesn’t but they upgrade my regular to a large due to me bringing my own mug and being a regular
