To the lady who works the cafe on the 2nd floor of Tower:

I enjoy your holiday decorations (Halloween was especially good, Thanksgiving isn't bad, and I'm excited for what you've got in store for X-mas), you are exceptionally nice, and I appreciate that you run the cafe by yourself. However, making me pour my coffee into a paper cup, which is then thrown out after I pour it into my mug, so you know which refill to ring into the register ("sm refil", "med refil", or "lrg refil") even though they ALL cost $1.05(!), is a waste of a paper cup, and patently stupid.

Yes, it is. I suppose, though, it's possible that Corporate wants to keep track of the volume of coffee sold so they can compare that against the amount of coffee they go through, and thus can figure out whether their employee is cheating them by giving out free coffee to her friends. Of course, if she is cheating them that way, all she has to do is ring up a few small refills as being large refills, and the books will balance and Corporate will be none the wiser.

"Volume of coffee sold" is not very precise, especially with the various additions of dairy products.

But, corporate will be the wiser if they also count how many cups they go through. In fact, I bet that's what they're doing: comparing the number of missing small paper coffee cups with the number of times the cashier hits the "small coffee" button on the register. Most 7-11's have a sign up that says something to the effect that you aren't allowed to have a free or extra paper cup, even if the first cup you grab is dirty or defective because their inventory system cannot handle it.

inventory is the biggest bitch in any retail business. But if that chick can't handle it then you should light that styrofoam cup on fire and make sure all of that black smoke gets right in her wasteful face!

OK, so I have a "medium" mug. I better not have to do it again.
