Sometimes, all you can do is
attempt to be funny.
In a viral social media post shared on Facebook and Twitter [a while ago], Kwik Trip announced it is experiencing a disposable coffee cup shortage and invited customers to fill coffee with any container of their choosing for 99-cent refills.
While Wisconsin-based gas station chain claimed online that the shortage was a result of its cup supply getting stolen by another gas station, Kwik Trip director of public relations John McHugh said it's actually a supply chain issue.
It's possible the containers are somewhere at sea.
"They were just being humorous. No other convenience store chain stole our cups," McHugh said. "Although I'll be honest with you, if that were to happen, I think we probably would be fine with it because it means that they would be giving us free marketing using our cups with their coffee."
In addition -- waste not, want not -- the chain would prefer that you pay attention to your capacity to drink in your choice of a carry-out cup.
"We are asking our guests to make sure that they're responsible in what they bring. Whatever they use to drink their coffee, that's what they should bring in," McHugh said. "We're discouraging people from bringing in giant coolers and only taking one sip of coffee, then dumping the rest of it. We just want to be responsible stewards of our food products."
The way things have been going, nobody is going to be dumping coffee, as the prices have been going up.
