We, the students of Northwestern Law, kindly request that Harry's Cafe return to its old policy of allowing patrons of the Cafe to use their own mugs to buy and re-fill coffee and other warm drinks. The new policy forces patrons either to use a new disposable cup or to purchase a $10 mug from the Cafe. The increased use of disposable cups is bad for the environment. Forcing patrons who wish to be environmentally friendly to purchase an overpriced mug is unreasonable. The only justification for encouraging patrons to purchase the mug, as opposed to bringing their own mugs, is to get more money from patrons. This type of rationale should have very limited place in a cafe in our law school, since the majority of cafe patrons are students who are not working for remuneration.

10 dollars for a mug is ridiculous. basically just a tax on students who actually care about the planet.

its wasteful. my old travel mug fits fine under the machine so why are they forcing the paper cups on us now?

Another justification is to regulate number of ounces of refills, but this could be done via reasonably accurate proxy methods, like placing a masking tape line next to the register of the maximum acceptable cup height. It wouldn't be exact, but it would be close enough to protect whatever interest Harry's has in regulating mug size without being so self-serving.

Not a 3L, but I can't imagine how BS this has to feel to be told to pay $10 less than a month before you're done.
