another downside is that employees would have to handle potentially dirty cups from customers, and thus reducing the overall hygiene level of any of the drinks prepared, as well as for instance other foods such as sandwiches handled.
#Shell and several other shops with *self-service* hot beverage booths here in #Norway do allow you to bring your own cup though; if you don't bring one, you usually have to pay about 10–15 Norwegian kroner (≈1.11-1.66 USD) for a paper cup.
