'Own mug' discounts

Submitted by David DeFranza on January 25, 2008 - 05:21.

I agree that this is something small and easy we can all do, which has a huge impact over time.

I know from working in a coffee shop in California that the odds are stacked against the ceramic mug. California requires that the cafe charge a meal tax if served in a durable cup, but does not require this for take away containers. I think it comes to about $0.10 more on your standard cup of coffee.

Using your own travel mug, however, saves you from the tax and gets a reusable mug discount!
