Just when I saw it, I needed to know if I could get one, so I asked if they sold 'em. The bartender flat-out said "yeah" so I'm under the impression that they'll sell one to anyone who asks. I'm there alot but I don't think he was giving a break JUST for me. Sure, I've paid for that mug several times over with the amount of money I've spent there. I was in earlier that week and they didn't have them yet, but you're right, they are technically "used" and thus, not as high-spanking quality as straight from Tiki Farm. Hey, I even took it home and chipped it the first time washing it in the sink. Doh! Well, I may not be handing my money over directly to Tiki Farm, but I am supporting their customer and the demand for handsome vessels for tiki libations. Frankly, I've talked to the owner of WW, and he doesn't care if people take or steal his mugs. (It was surprsing that I offered to pay for it. )He thinks that they are pretty cheap and is happy to replace them. So, I think that the more mugs that go out the door from WW, $5 paid or not, the more frequently he'll be calling Tiki Farm for more. But of course, I could be wrong.
