On tea in Java City

gearoidof

I'm pretty sure I've heard people complaining about the size of tea available in the hamilton java city.

the gist of it is:
In the buttery, if you ask for a large tea, they'll give you a large tea
In the hamilton, they only give small teas.

I was chatting to your man at the counter anyway, about it.
He told me that the management had ordered only small teas be given out because a number of students who ordered them didn't finish them and then dumped them into the bins. Disgusting bin juice *10 makes angry staff, so they decided to cut the problem out.

The question is, how to sort this out!?

We should get the SU to have a sit in about this!
Its about time they tackled some of the bigger issues facing us in these harsh times..

Buy 2 teas and pour them into one cup?

Just buy your tea from the Java City in the Buttery or Arts Building. Or bring your own cup and teabags, and pay for the hot water.

A little sign on the bin saying no liquids? Seems obvious.

boblong can't be a student if he's willing to pay €2.60 for a cuppa...
cups and teabags are effort, and seeing as there are plenty of kettles lying around in society rooms, I could just go there for it. (hard to find a bloody cup, though)

I have no problem with walking, but it would be easier if I didn't have to. The sign struck me as obvious too, gonna ask him next time I pop in

Why not buy coffee and not tea? Why not finish your teas?! Bitches be trippin'.

Why not just put a sink drain thing to pour out your surplus tea?

I totally agree with the sink drain option. Whether my tea is big or small I just never drink it to the very end; wasteful I know but there's just something not very nice about the very end of a cuppa. Im always conscious of putting liquids in the bins, but there's just no other option...

There was definitely a sign over those bins downstairs in the hamilton saying no tea or coffee in the bin, but it didnt really work as far as I know. Not sure if it's still there anyway.

But either way, making people buy small teas all the time is just insane. I vote that boards starts a rogue tea business in some hidden corner of the hamilton, where you can get whatever size you like, from small tea to so-big-you-have-to-visit-the-loo-five-times-before-you've-finished-it. It could start an entire tea revolution

The Hamilton Tea Party!

Who's on the bad end of this tea party, the Brits again (well trinity, sorta, a bit)
For a nation who loves their tea, the whole tea party thing seems to backfire on them a bit much.
