When “Reuse” Goes Too Far – A Cafe Amazon Story that Made Everyone Cringe
We all love the mantra reduce, reuse, recycle, but some folks take it a bit too literally. That’s exactly what happened at a Cafe Amazon branch in Thailand, where a female employee turned a simple drink into a questionable experiment.
“Turn the Trash Into Treat”
- The worker snuck into the bin, scooped out cracked, half‑empty cups left behind by customers.
- She rinsed them under the tap, wiped off the crumbs, and set them aside like a tiny thrift shop.
- While the whole scene unfolded, she was laughing and chatting with two teammates, as if it were just another day at the office.
These “recycled” cups were later used to serve unsuspecting customers. The clip—just two minutes long—went viral on August 30, sparking outrage and disbelief across social media.
Official Response
Only a day after the video leaked, Cafe Amazon issued a public apology. The statement clarified that the employee’s actions were a breach of their standard operating procedures and that the store was temporarily closed from August 30 to September 2 for a full investigation.
Customers Sound Off
When faced with the noise, customers were quick to share their own grievances. Many complained that their drinks were consistently under‑filled and that the taste fluctuated wildly from one cup to the next. These issues led to a flurry of -feedback throughout the week.
How About Your Own Cup?
If you’re worried about the cleanliness of your coffee mug, a simple solution is to bring your own reusable cup to the cafe. No more surprises, just a guaranteed clean sip every time.
