Do they really say no? In Australia we're encouraged to use our own mugs because one of our shit-tier comedian publicised the fact that disposable coffee cups can't be recycled.

When I worked there years back the manager instructed us not to because of sanitation issues. We don't know where your mugs have been.

>>11651699

Yeah I have tried this multiple times and then proceeded to pour it into my travel mug right at the counter. It's likely coming from corporate, but i I can't see a good reason why.

Maybe they don't want the employees to think too much for pricing? Or they are afraid of retards ordering their liquid diabetes into a custom mug and causing an accident.

>>11651710
You're handling money all day long that is much filthier than the handle of random people's mugs.

>>11651699
Based Australis

You can do this at most gas stations btw. And about half of the time they will only charge you for a refill if your mug isn't preposterously huge.

>>11651714
>Or they are afraid of retards ordering their liquid diabetes into a custom mug and causing an accident.
You hit the nail on the head.
McDicks doesn't want some retard burning themselves again and suing because their product was misplaced in a mug that lacks any warning labels.

>>11651729
uh ACKSHUALLY the old retarded lady that spilled coffee on herself in her own car was actually hurt really bad so a company that had nothing to do with her injury should pay her millions of dollars for the rest of her life :)

>>11651729
>>11651733
It was hotter than it should have been. It really was. Read the actual facts instead of automatically believing what sounds right.

>>11651733
>>11651729
Oh fuck off corporate shills, the coffee was way hotter than standard and she got burns that sent her to the hospital. She just wanted hospital bills paid but the McCheapasses didn't want to fork out any money so she had to sue.

>>11651714
they also want you walking around with a mcdonalds cup for advertising

>>11651751
Yeah the coffee temperature was set way over boiling point
They turned down the temperature after that

>>11651687
Either mug sizes or they don't want to get sued for lack of warning labels

>>11651773
It's just fucking coffee.
God damn this society

>>11651790
>order coffee
>get superheated steam sprayed directly into my eyes
My own fault for ordering coffee, right?

>>11651687
lol, those niggers behind the counter be like "yooo hommie, dis nigga hard!"

>>11651773
>Yeah the coffee temperature was set way over boiling point
It wasn't over boiling point, they weren't keeping it pressurized. It was at like 190F or something like that. Not sure why that was such a big deal, because I remember trying a Keurig machine and being able to set it to brew at 194F.

>>11651716
nobody that fills the orders touches the money at mcdonald's.

>>11651890
What.
That's just not true. Cashiers handle wrapped food, make shakes/flurries/sundaes and pour coffee all the time.

>>11651773
You realize how boiling water works right? The stuff that's hotter turns to steam, you can't boil coffee into melting steel beams, even if it was boiling when they gave it to her that doesn't inherently make it dangerous until you decide to pour it on yourself

>>11651773
Oh yes, how could I forget that the coffee, a product made from water and beans, was well over the boiling point of water when it was served.
What kind of evil corporation would ever serve a liquid so hot that it was well over the boiling point of water but yet did not have any of the telltale bubbling effects of boiling water?
Truly, this just shows that coffee and water are not the same liquid, and the boiling point of coffee, a liquid made from water and beans, is well higher than that of just plain water.

>>11651947
Just look it up for yourself. We have the internet now so it's easy. You're not going to get all the information here. You'll end up arguing your assumptions against somebody else's. Seek to be properly informed.

>>11651922
Really???

I was thinking more of Leonardo Dicaprio, but with a more prominent forehead. Hadn't considered the other options.

>>11651716
I think the point is that if you bring in your filth encrusted mug harbouring the remains of yesterday's Starbucks sugar cream dessert and they fill it with their god awful coffee and then you get food poisoning, you might try to sue them for making you sick.

>>11651954
No, fuck you, we are now going to discuss the boiling points of coffee and water.

>>11651903
you must live in a poor area with an understaffed mcd's.

>>11651920
I think it's Maisie Williams

>>11651978
I take it you haven't been in a McDonald's since they introduced those touch screens.

>>11652019
no because people in my state refuse to hike up min wage to retarded amounts because we enjoy affordable groceries.

>>11651714
McDonald's and a lot of other fast fopd businesses use dispensers that deliberately measure out to their own cup sizes, and using one that doesn't conform to those will cause a lot of issues including inventory and sales tallies.

>>11652065
It just dispenses the same quantity regardless of the size of the receptacle. It's only an issue if the cup is too small.

>>11652065
>inventory
you only inventory the cups, not the liquid.

>>11652015

You can't have water hotter than boiling. lurn 2 the 3 states of matter.

>>11651733
>there are actual mcdicks shills on this board
I thought the mcchiken threads where just memes holy fuck

>>11651716
You're not putting the money right in the beverage dispenser though.

>>11652159
this post is pure Au

I would refuse too, some retard is bound to spill it and then sue me because their cup doesn't have a lid or warnings all over it.

>>11652134
She played Lady Me in Doctor Who.

I remember around 2008 a woman and her mother had a car accident when the mother accidentally spilled McDonalds coffee on her daughter leg, they hit a dude who pressed charges against them, the dude won, then the mother and daughter sued McDonalds because the coffee was to hot, McDonalds won when they prove that the accident wasn't directly related to them and that the drink spilled could also be mate which is served at the same temperature as McDonalds coffee.

ITT: AND THE RUSSIANS JUST USED A PENCIL

When did /ck/ get overrun with facebook-tier boomers? Have you idiots never heard of snopes?

I wouldn't touch op's filthy coffee mug either, he probably never washes it just rinses it off and has old coffee chunks crusted around the top.

>>11651716

what did he mean by this?
>>11652395
coffee won't superheat retard. only reason water does is because of lack of impurities/nucleation points, which are abundant in coffee.

>>11652395
taht doesn't happen to coffee

>>11652379
>Have you idiots never heard of snopes?
bad bait, you should be ashamed

>>11652333
This is a myth from like fucking 1985

>>11652643
Has the MGTOW crowd decided snopes is bad now because it said George Soros doesn't control the weather from his secret moon base?

the caffeine addict cries out in pain as he strikes you

>>11652671
Nice bait.

>>11651733
Do some research before you talk out your ass

>>11652015
That's supposed to be a gal?????? WTF!

>>11651733
youre glowing in the dark, my friend

>>11651687
This is why I get drinks at Cumberland Farms or make something at home. All these coffee places promote bringing in your own container yet they act like it’s a giant inconvenience if you ask them to pour into one

You desvere to be tortured, for several years. They should severely torture you and then nurse u back to health every other month for the rest of your life. Sudanese prison tier torture, followed by the best doctors in the world working to get u healthy enough for the next month of torture

Sometimes a completely unfunny post makes me laugh uncontrollably and only then do I realize how empty and meaningless my life is. Today that post was yours. Congrats, I'm going to go outside to mutter to myself and have people cross the street to avoid me for several h ours.

probably because leftist culture is obsessed with suing corporations and your mug won't have their hot coffee warning subjecting them to legal risk

You’d have to be retarded to fall for snopes at this point. Urban legends are one thing, but that they “fact check” global conspiracies is completely laughable.

>>11652921
Yeah why should a website dedicated to debunking nonsense posted on the internet have actual articles debunking nonsense on the internet? Everyone knows the moon landings were faked.

>>11652626
>>11652633
Coffee can superheat. It can't superheat as much as due to the compounds in solution lowering nucleation energy, but that doesn't make it unable to happen just not as much/as extremely as pure water. there are plenty of stories of people superheating coffee in the microwave

>>11652940
Pffft, you probably think the earth is a sphere and not flat. You'd believe anything (((they))) tell you.

>>11652940
>a website dedicated to debunking nonsense
You mean 'The Straight Dope'? Because there's no way in hell you're talking about (((Snopes))).

>>11652940
considering the source is literally a dude, his cat lady fat ass ex-wife who's only there because he fucked her out of alimony, and his former stripper/camwhore fiance, and neither of them have any credentials that would point to them having ANY credibility whatsoever, they're "debunking" is just plain bullshit

>>11653050
>((()))
Clearly your opinions are reliable
>>11653053
I like how you think "that person got a divorce" is some kind of fatal character assassination. Do you live in Fascist Italy, circa 1936?

>>11653063
I wonder why it is you only focus in on that point instead of the fact that neither of them have any credentials that would promote their credibility
also the fact that the dude is a whoremonger and got cucked by both the whore he fell in love with and his ex-wife that he had to have both of them on staff, not because they're good at what they do, but because if he didn't then he would be fucked over by his ex-wife and he's such a pathetic piece of shit he put a stripper on his staff with no previous experience and/or journalistic integrity whatsoever, none of that you focused on? oh that's right, because you have no argument against it

>>11653074
I'm focusing on the point because you saying over and over again, with such passion that I have to assume either you're getting paid for this, or you really think "they got a divorce" is a crazy act of moral failure that automatically discredits everything a person ever says or does. You know way too much about Snopes, did they write something about one your pet crackpot theories?

>>11653081
oh my dear sweet sweet anon
(You) are the only one focusing on the fact that they're divorced as if you're trying some bullshit point about the fact that I'm claiming moral high ground, which is evident by your pathetic responses. the entirety of the post is what what one should focus on because it isn't just one thing, its the entire makeup of its parts. (You) just singling out the fact I pointed out she's his ex-wife and focusing on that with microscopic precision just goes to show how weak your argument is that you now have to resort to personal attacks. I am assuming you're rather defensive about it because you either have been divorced, or were the product of a failed marriage, either way you should really stop projecting in your retorts and acting as if you have a leg to stand on when your argument's foundation is built on sand

>>11652019
>Introduce 'kiosks'

Smart move McDs

>>11653102
I'm sorry I didn't focus on your post's entirety, anon. What about the cucking part, do you want to tell us about your vivid pornographic fantasies about the Snopes head office? Which deviant sex acts were performed?

>>11653110
>reporting to personal attacks instead of trying to disprove their lack of credibility
this, anons, is the liberal mind at work, notice how shortsighted, low-powered, and pathetic its arguments are that it has to retort to ad hominem personal attacks

>>11653110
>Which deviant sex acts were performed?
Vaginal intercourse in the missionary position with the lights off purely for the sake of procreation. The nastiest sex of all.

>>11653109
>dick around the kiosks menus

>for some reason a breakfast combo is an option under the drink selection

Man did my lardass use that too much.

>>11653109
They got rid of most of the cashiers and the ones that are there also attend to kitchen duties. Service is now much slower than it used to be unless you use the kiosk.
