Vancouver, Canada introduces C$0.25 fee for disposable cups... but the food vendor gets to keep that money, no strings attached. (vancouver.ca)

Basically, they've just increased corporate profit margins. While disincentivizing companies from accepting reusable containers because then they would make less money. Brilliant.

Some vendors are just offering a "discount" on their prices of $0.25. Add the fee (which they get to keep), and literally nothing has changed for anyone.
