If you have a daily habit of stopping by your local konbini for fresh coffee, make sure you bring along your tumbler. This summer, Lawson’s in-house Machi Cafe is offering a limited-time discount to customers who use their own tumbler or cup for a takeaway coffee.
In an effort to reduce single-use paper or plastic cups, Lawson usually gives out a standard 10 percent discount to customers who bring their own. This time around, however, the konbini chain is raising the discount to ¥39 . Although ¥39 might seem like a random number, ‘three’ and ‘nine’ is pronounced as ‘san kyu’ in Japanese, which sounds like a cheeky play on ‘thank you’.
