Seriously Dear Circle K™, You suck. Here’s why: Currently, you are running a special on your 32-oz Thirstbusters™. For 75 cents, I can get a 32-oz Thirstbuster™ (that is, a 69-cent drink with tax). However, this apparently only applies to new cups, as I discovered when I went in with a 32-oz cup. I proceeded to refill the cup with my favorite frosty sparkling beverage, and when I went to pay, I was informed that my total would be 96 cents. I pointed to the large sign, which said “69-cent Thirstbusters™”. I was informed at that point that that price was for new, fresh, untainted cups, not refills, regardless of the fact that the cup I brought in, was, in fact, originally from Circle K™. Therefore, a tariff was imposed upon me in the sum of 21 cents because I brought in my own cup. I was essentially fined 21 cents for the privilege of saving at least one cup from a landfill. You, that is, Circle K™, should be ashamed, not only because Circle K™ refuses, in the above ascribed manner, to do their part to reduce the “carbon footprint” of its business, but also because you are pulling extra money from my pocket when I know that the frosty sparkling beverage costs you less than the price of a cup, new, used, or otherwise. Oh, yes, and also, you should be ashamed because you suck. Regards, Scotvalkyrie (Mrs.)
