Soooo, ‘thief’ is clearly open to interpretation.
The criminals we’re spotting today are ‘innocent thieves’. The types that accidentally steal teaspoons.
Luckily 93% of our fleet gets returned, washed and reused. For those M.I.A we ask you to keep eyes peeled and records clean: return serviceware to Te Aro Zero Waste.
Crookery (not crockery) we’re referring to includes:
The caffeinated ones that offer you a homebrewed (cough cough) coffee
The wino’s who make us whine (Seriously?! Our faces go shiraz)
The readers, who conveniently ignore the ‘please return the cup’.
The ocean gazers, forgetting we keep plastic out of oceans.
The baggers. We see you. You’re up there with the pocketeers.
The blenders who offer you drinks in a stolen cup. Smooth!
… as well as a cocktail of other culprits. It’s the pits.
They make us ice cold. This ain’t no game we’re playing.
^ our gaze, when you steal our cups!
yes, we know we are milking this.
Disclaimer: no cups were harmed (or stolen) in the making of this page. And don’t be getting ideas now. Bob, we’re looking at you!
btw - if you wanna pre-detect actual criminal activity, please consult the po-po (and if you see any donuts in FillGood containers - well - there will be questions asked 👀). Alternatively: cop, not cup, videos can be found here.
