As supply chain issues affect businesses across the country, Kwik Trip says the coffee mugs are gone.
The La Crosse-based gas station chain said Friday that customers who want coffee or other hot beverages will need to bring their own mugs.
During the shortage, customers can get any size refill for 99 cents, Kwik Trip said in a Facebook post.
Kwik Trip was somewhat vague about the cause of the shortage, but said the cups “were actually taken from us.”
“A gas station that won’t be named stole them,” the gas station joked in its post. “I would like to joke.”
