Starbucks announced this week that it will not fill the cups of customers who bring in their own from home until further notice, USA Today reports. It’s one of many steps the coffee retailer is taking in order to halt the spread of coronavirus.
Customers who patronize Starbucks know that the chain offers a 10-cent discount to anyone who brings in their own, reusable cup. Following the “reduce, reuse, recycle” mantra, in offering customers an incentive to use their own cups, instead of the disposable plastic (or paper) cups the store offers, less waste is produced, and the company’s carbon footprint is reduced.
Similarly, customers have had the opportunity to make use of that discount by using “for here” ware in the store — that is, having their drink served in a ceramic mug, rather than a disposable cup, on the condition that it’s used in the building.
