i'm very intrigued. i'd like to do this, but not if it would be awkward for me.

Comment/question: can you order anything you want to go in it?
Response: I don't know, what is usually say is "hi, good morning, I've got a thermos I want filled with the darkest coffee you have available." That takes care of the instance where they don't have enough of a specific roast or whatever.

Comment/question: do you show them the size of the thermos before they decide the charge?
Response: No, I order through the drive through. I think every time I've done it they charge me for a venti, which I assume is the largest hot size they can. Maybe it's not, though.

Comment/question: if it's on with the order mic before the cashier window, do you ever get to the window after placing the order and they see the thermos size and then change the price?
Response: No they never change the price.

Comment/question: how big is your thermos?
Response: It is marketed as a 32 oz but I have not measured it.

Comment/question: do you just give them the thermos body, no cap, and they hand it back to you open?
Response: At first I gave it to them with the cap all loose, but then one girl took off the cap and gave it back to me before she filled it up, so from then on I just give them the thermos body, no cap, and they hand it back open.

Comment/question: isn't that a liability issue for them?
Response: It could be, I'm not an attorney.

Comment/question: also, is your thermos opening/smell gross?
Response: I don't think so, and I've never had any complaints, but you know how some dog people can't tell their house smells like dog?

I'd kick my own ass carrying something like that into work.

It stays in the truck. Half of it goes in my Yeti and most days the other half goes to these two homeless dudes I pass on my way to work.

what a great hack. but i like milk and stuff in my coffee. can you do a trial run where you order some sort of coffee that has milk in it and see if that works too? also do one with espresso instead of brewed.

Do you work on a construction site? That's the only place I imagine this type of coffee vessel. Like you are sitting 30 floors up on the steel I beams drinking your coffee from your thermos.

I wonder if they would let me get a thermos full of Chai Latte. If so, I am going to start doing that on the reg.

Yeah some 18 - 20 yr old gets handed that relic. They are probably all WTF is this? I bet they take pictures of it inside and tweet snarky things to their friends.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #343 on:** January 13, 2016, 04:43:51 PM »

Every construction dude over 40 has either a Stanley or this

Think of all the free ounces with the second (they are like 64 or 100 Oz or something

this is opening up a new world to me. but i can't help but feel it's a trap.

I feel like not having a thermos is something men should put in the shame yourself thread.

I don't like to ask corporate workers to do anythinng that might be outside of their ordinary routine. Not only is it a bit presumptuous, but it also seems like you'd just be asking for something to go wrong.
