I bought a thermos at Xmart for about $15 and it holds 3 good sized cups of coffee, and keeps it hot.
I bring it everywhere. Making your own is the way to go.

I don't understand the tip cup for something that's handed over the counter to you. My daughter works making subs. Customer asks for a #10 off the list. First girl cuts the roll and tops it with meat and cheese, second girl O&V and mayo, third girl, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, wraps it and hands it over. I see that as the job and not tip worthy, but she makes about $10-15 per week in tips. I guess it's spare change. There's a dozen or so small tables and they will deliver orders to the table. I asked her how many people that get served ever leave a tip? None. It just doesn't make sense.

I've had the "keep the change" thing happen to me. They apologized. The guy at the local packie kept the pennies once for the leave one, take one bowl. He was corrected.

Todays update on the subject!
I went inside today and what sits on the counter but a nice sign stating "effective immediately we have a no tipping policy" where the tip cup used to sit! no kidding!~

Dunkin Donuts used to have it stated on their menu signs NO TIPPING ALLOWED. This was back in the 70s though when they used ceramic mugs and would refill them as you sat at the counter.
Some of the local Dunks around here have replaced the tip cups with collection boxes for Childrens Hospital. I usually drop the coins in the box as it is going to a good cause.
