In my city, we chose disposable coffee cups to human chit on the sidewalks. To each their own, I suppose.

They CAN'T bring in their own cups. They're using THOSE as TOILETS. ☕

But you can take a dump in the street and get free needles if you want to inject drugs into your body.

So do like the guy who made straws that looked like syringes just bigger ones.

Either that or carry a slurpy cup.

But sh## in the streets is ok

[TomGuy]

the city has piloted a program that lets customers rent real mugs and be able to return them at 11 locations throughout...

How progressive!

Oh wait. Cola companies were doing this with bottle deposits and returns a century ago.

Ahead of the change, the city has piloted a program that lets customers rent real mugs and be able to return them at 11 locations throughout the city, according to the Chronicle.

I'd like to report that my car was broken into.

What did they take, ma'am?

They smashed the side window and took my Starbucks for deposit coffee cup right out of the holder.

Ok, let’s see... ban coffee cups, but it’s ok to defecate on sidewalks.

[mumblypeg]

“...instead rent a cup, with a hefty $15 fee if it isn’t returned..”

Due and payable, of course, when I never return.
Which makes perfect sense in the alternate universe that is the Bay Area.

I hope I can get out of this state before I die.

I hate all this BS.

Now they can accessorize their fanny packs to include a hook or pouch to hold their ever-present coffee cups....I hear they make great emergency urinals for those too prissy to void themselves on the sidewalks...maybe that can be used as a “bonus”.
