When a shortage of coffee cups affected Kwik Star convenient stores/gas stations, they released an amusing flyer concerning the situation.

The company is offering a $.99 cup refill, or crockpot refill, or wheelbarrow refill...but seriously because of shortages of cups the station needs you to bring your own mug.. or any kind of coffee container.

The flyer they put out jokingly sai, B.Y.O.C. (Cup) Then the company included a list of suggestions like your work book, a crockpot, the dog dish, a flower pot, ice cube tray, an empty beer can, your guitar, a vase a milk bag pitcher, pie dish, your kayak, well, you get the picture.

The company then issued an amusing Bring Your Own Cup Q&A clarification. I'm guessing they compiled the list from real questions they've received. Like, "Is the cup thing true or is it a publicity stunt?" The answer is that it's true, but "thanks, I'm flattered."

Q.Did another gas station really steal your cups?

A. There's no gas station running around with Karuba cups, but out allotment has been impacted by the needs of other retailers, that's all I can say.

Q. You mentioned cups were "overseas"...what's that about?"

A. This was an attempt at being funny...

Q. How long will this last?

A. I don't know, I just do social media. At least a few weeks, our cup guy is doing his best.

The full flyer can be seen in the picture tab. (I'm sorry, for the seeing impaired it is not a pdf.)

So have a little laugh, it's on the house.
