Here are the facts:
I feel strongly that each refillable mug should be used at the resort of purchase only, for the length of stay only, BUT:
I stayed at BCV for one night, purchased a BC refillable mug, and used it twice. It did not fit into the cupholder of my car, and the full beverage turned over and spilled on my car's carpet both times.
I moved to Wilderness Lodge for two nights, purchased a new WL refillable mug and it used it several times during my stay at the Wilderness Lodge only. It fit nicely in my cupholder, and there were no spills.
I moved back to the BCV for three nights, and used the BC mug two or three more times, when I remembered to bring it from my room and when I also remembered to wash out my Wilderness Lodge cup so I could transfer my Diet Coke from the "spillable" mug to the "spillproof" one.
Now, I am going back to BCV for two or three nights in August. Just this once, do you think I could sleep soundly at night if I brought my BC mug back with me and used it during my stay? On this trip, we would be using Stormalong Bay, so not as much driving and less need to worry about spillage.
I may have already answered myself in my first sentence, as I really do get bothered by chronic mug abusers. But another part of me says, "You're at about $2.50 - $3.00 per use now, and it doesn't quite feel like cheating in this case."
This is a light-hearted question - the chances being excellent that I will forget to pack the mug anyway, but I'm curious - justified to reuse or not?
