When Is 7-Eleven’s ‘Bring Your Own Cup’ Day?

[ad_1]

A woman brings two trick-or-treating buckets to 7-Eleven, thinking the convenience chain participates in “bring your own cup day.” But the workers tell her she’s mistaken when she takes out her $4 at the checkout.

In a video with over 6.6 million views, TikTok Aiyanna (@aiyannace) yells, “Hello, everyone! Happy holiday!” as she enters the convenience store.

First, she places one Jack-o’-Lantern bucket underneath the piña colada slushie flavor. She fills it up until the machine is nearly empty. Then, she places the second bucket underneath the blue raspberry flavor and fills it to the brim.

However, she asks the cashier why he looks “confused” as she places the buckets on the register.

Was 7-Eleven participating in ‘bring your own cup’ day?

In a Sept. 4 press release, 7-Eleven announces that its next bring your own cup day is Sept. 13. Customers can bring any container of any size and fill it up with a Slurpee for $1.99. The convenience chain gives “fishbowls, flower vases, pitchers, and popcorn buckets” as examples of acceptable containers.

However, Aiyanna may have mixed up her dates, arriving at the store with her buckets on Sept. 11. The workers shake their heads as they tell Aiyanna that the promotion isn’t valid.

“You gonna make me put my slushie back?” she asks, handing the cashier $4 for the two mega slushies.

One worker insists that bring your own cup day has “never been done.” Some franchises may not participate in the promotion.

The clip cuts, and she shows herself giving the giant slushies to two men outside of 7-Eleven. She reenters the store to buy the other people slushies—albeit normal-sized ones—too.

She asks the worker, “Does this qualify for your program?” as she hands him the Big Gulp-sized slushies.

How did viewers react to her viral mistake?

In the comments, viewers joke about Aiyanna’s go-with-the-flow attitude despite mixing up the dates of the bring your own cup promotion.

“My girl aint let her vibe get killed. she say ‘you get a slushy! YOU get a slushy! EVERYBODY gets a slushy,”” a commenter writes.

“I actually never laughed so hard in my entire life,” another says.

“Everytime I see your videos it’s just a perfect representation of exercising free will and I respect that,” a third adds.

Others point out that the 7-Eleven workers watched her fill the buckets with slushie and didn’t say anything before she reached checkout.

“It’s the fact they gonna tell you it’s not ‘bring your own cup day’ but not act like they did watch you fil up two buckets the whole time,” one says.

“The employees watching you fill up a Halloween bucket with slushie,” another writes.

“I mean they literally could’ve stopped you at ANY point prior to checkout,” a third remarks.
