Starbucks makes the drink into their own cup and pours it into yours. Not sure how drive through McDonalds would work. I guess the person handing you your food does something similar.

And the baristas use reuseable cups for this purpose because they aren't allowed to wash or touch customer's cups.

i put in an order their the mcds app and it auto puts in the cup fee. looks like the only way is to buy via cashier. most stores only have 1 cashier now so its going to be a long line to save 25 cents.
Not sure what gets displayed on the kiosk machines

So it’s just another tax grab that is virtually impossible to avoid in most situations..
Build a fucking recycling program where you pay 5 cents per cup turned in at return it depots, the garbage would be eliiated and would provide a revenue stream for the homeless. Instead of this faceless tax grab going into general revenue

Essentially COV told restaurants they can charge more on the guise of sustainability (which, convolutedly makes some sense), but other cities which had nothing to do with this are all like fuck yeah us too!

Experiment fail ...I usually go to McD in Vanc but today pulled into one in Richmond. Wanted to see if I can use my own mug at the drive through. Richmond doesn't charge disposable cup fee, it's only a Vancouver thing.
So one way is to get your coffee in Richmond, Burnaby, or North Shore ...if it's not out of your way.

I went to A&W in Poco today and was charged 25 cents for my cup. So it's not just Vancouver by the looks of things. They even told me if I wanted my food in a bag they had to charge me for the bag.. WTF

^ oh ..as of today, Richmond is not charging ...they may jump on the wagon. If $0.25 goes to their pockets, why not?

They put all this bullshit on the front end and have nothing at the back end when it comes to recycling.
And worst is they leave it to the business like mc Donald to use that money how they see fit with no accountability where that money goes into. We all are not born yesterday. Essentially if you go take out or drive thru you pay 25 cents for cup and another 15 cents for a paper bag. That a couple bucks extra if you order for a family.

tried to order a meal and wasn't charged a 15 cent paper bag fee via mcds app. 25cents adds up pretty quickly if you grab coffee everyday

Insanity. I can go anywhere here and get a styrofoam bucket to hold my pop in and its dirt cheap.
Absolute cash grab.

Here’s an idea, but a 300 pack of red solo cups from Costco for $12 use those for your coffee and toss it in the garbage after. You’ll come out ahead after 50 cups tossed with 250 being your profit… lol

But yeah, this is stupidity at it's finest.
Although, I should say, some of this is psychological - like because you see it as a separate line item, and know it's going to fuck all, it's very annoying.
But if McDicks silently upped all their drink prices by 25 cents none of us would notice haha

It is a strategy to get you to use your own cup and stop the paper cup waste. Where the $0.25 goes is irrelevant. I was just thinking that $0.25 is just enough to make me want to make that effort of bringing my own cup. Any less like 5 cents, I would have said, hell, I'll just pay the extra to save the hassle of me bringing a mug/washing it afterwards. That's all this is. Just imagine all the paper cups that are used in one day here in hippie coffee drinking Vancouver. If we can save using 25% of those cups in one day, I think it would go a long way. That is all. Nothing more, nothing less. I, for one, like it.

can you even bring/use your own cup for coffee with covid and all?
i would think you're forced to use a new cup from the store and pay the 25 cents

As said above they will use a reusable cup and pour your coffee into it, not sure if right at the till or at the check out area at a Starbucks etc.
I didn’t even mind bringing my own cup but with Covid now it becomes a big thing as opposed to where you used to just hand them the cup.
Are you going to use your own cup for a caramel macchiato or sonthing like that? Lol even a latte kinda has to be made in the cup it will be served in

Well fuck, I though it was only 0.15 for a cup. It's actually 0.25, and 0.15 for a bag? wtf.
And I guess I won't be getting any more McD stickers on their cups, so that's more profit for McD when people stop redeeming free coffee.

Absolute cash grab. | But 6 inches of snow kills hundreds of people. In 2015 the US government told Texas to winterize the electrical grid but the current governor sued and one won the right not to.
Also Texas gets more covid money from Brandon then any other state. https://nypost.com/2022/01/04/texas-...united-states/

PSA ...can confirm that at McD, whether you walk in or go to drive through ... you cannot bring your own mug. Which kinda defeats the purpose of this whole thing. I thought it was to eliminate use of paper cups in the city.
