Is It A Crime To Get Your Buzz On At Work?
Is It A Crime To Get Your Buzz On At Work?
There’s nothing wrong with a morning cuppa (or three or four). After all, isn’t there a scientific law about productivity being directly proportionate to the quantity of caffeine in the bloodstream? Disposable-cup waste, however, is positively criminal. Whether you’re a mainliner or a sipper, you can be a real American hero by lugging your own mug to work. Here's what’s in it for you:
The Benies:
More cash for more coffee. Most coffee houses will give you a 10¢ to 25¢ discount for bringing your own travel mug. If you imbibe from the office coffeepot, using your own mug rather than the disposable cups in the break room will save the company money—money that could be your next raise.
Memorability. It's a fact: The local barista is about twenty times as likely to remember that you drink a non-fat-dairy-free-frappe-mocha-whatever when habitually presented your special beverage receptacle.
Freedom of expression. A dash of humor or wit livens things up in the cubicle world. Get creative with your mug (the one you drink from, that is), and it’s likely to spark new conversations with your co-workers.
A real difference. Purchasing a single cup of coffee in a disposable container every day generates about 22.75 pounds of waste per year. Given the amount of people who drink coffee, this adds up quickly.
