I've seen this so many times when I worked coffee shops and it drives me nuts. The same kind of thing where they would order a large coffee, dump out half, and fill it up with milk. That's a Cafe Ole' and it's $.10 more and it doesn't fill the trash with hot liquid that will leave a trail all the way to the dumpster.
I only saw this once, but a guy came in and ordered a large coffee. He paid, then went to the milk/sugar station, poured half of his coffee into a cup from Starbucks, then topped off both with milk. I asked him what he was doing and he was a dick about it so I threw him out.
I've seen quite a few people use the same cup every day till it's falling apart. I get that one to a degree, being that a refill is $.50-1.00 and a large coffee is $2-2.50. But it's gross. You're almost drinking cup rather then a cup of coffee.
As weird as some of the things are in this thread, if you were to do a lot of them, you could save some halfway decent $ combined.
