Does campus dining operations offer discounts to customers who use reusable mugs instead of disposable cups in to-go food service operations?:
Yes

A brief description of the reusable mug program:

When students bring their own cup or mug to fill with coffee or soda at any Sodexo dining facility, they are only charged the refill price, which is $1.25 regardless of the size.

Amount of the discount offered for using reusable mugs:

Filling up any size of a reusable mug costs $1.25. Normally, a 12 oz. coffee from The Lair Marketplace costs $1.79, and a 16 oz. coffee costs $1.99; a 22 oz. cup of soda costs $1.99 while a 32 oz. cup costs $2.39. Clearly, the discount is significant, but it also varies depending on the size that is purchased.


Amount of the discount offered for using reusable mugs:
1.25
