How should I handle mug thieves? - General Tiki

Of course, if they already signed off on the charge, it does not matter. There is a common mis-perception in the world that the mug is part of the price. I see this referred to all the time in various circles. It was not the practice, but people think it was and is. I think the best way to try to combat this is to somehow mention in your menu where it will be seen that "only if you order 'Drink X' may you take the mug with you." Or, in some way explain that if you pay this extra, you can keep the mug. Then it sets that apart and they should understand the others are not keepers.
