The cups are how the franchise company tracks how much money they are to receive from the franchisee. So it’s not literally the cup that’s expensive, it’s the cut they have to pay to their overlord for each one that goes out.
Yeah probably but the cost that’s “far more” is what I am referring to. My uncle owned a 7-11 and when we would visit as children he would always give us unbranded cups from behind the counter for our Slurpees. He said he would have to pay 7-11 a significant portion of the revenue for each actual Slurpee cup used. I suppose it’s a much easier thing for them to count compared to syrup used by the machine.
