About that cups idea…

I’m reconsidering my “self-service” idea. Because firstly, what if people get pissed off that they have to write their own freaking name on their own freaking cup? Cause it’s kinda hard to write on a curved surface. And secondly, because if some disgusting old cheeko comes in, digs his nose and feels up all the [...]
