To be honest, I cant say I've ever seen a trust box! Although you'll find that a lot of the banks dont have security screens, and many tills are left unattended! Now THAT is trust!

I just hope that when I order a LARGE cup of coffee, it really is large. None of that pretentious Starschmucks talk here, I pray.

There's plenty of Starbucks around :icon_sad:

I dont think the coffee's here are what you would consider large, coming from the USA. I only say that as I used to repair coffee vending machines, and the one's that were shipped to the states were re-configured to give larger amounts and shipped with larger cups!

Of course, it also depends on what shop you go to. The trendy expensive places give you a drip of coffee just enough to moisten the bottom of your cup, where others give you a nice big cup!

Unless of course you go to BB's (a coffee/muffin shop) - you can order a 'bowl' of hot chocolate there - and it really is a bowl, it's huge!

Oh, I was refering to Starschmucks way of calling a small cup "large". See http://www.scarysquirrel.org/special...oamy/sml1.html for a fun cartoon rant about it. Beware, though, Foamy talks fast. And with liberal use of cuss words.
