When purchasing “free coffee” using a coffee machine in a convenience store, the “yamche method” of secretly brewing a coffee size larger than the actual price was introduced in Japan and attracts currently attention.

Takeaway coffee from convenience stores benefits from the fact that only cups are provided at the checkout and the buyer drinks it directly from the coffee machine.

This method has been confirmed to be at risk of misuse in some convenience stores in Korea.

According to Japanese local sources and industry sources, on the 19th, Mr. A, principal of a private middle school in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, was convicted of theft by the Board of Education last year and was subject to disciplinary dismissal, equivalent to dismissal. He also lost more than 23 million yen (regarding 200 million won) in severance pay before retirement age.

The amount of Mr. A’s flight was only 490 yen (regarding 4,400 won), which is not a large amount.

The reason is that on a total of seven occasions I ordered a full-size coffee at a convenience store and then received a full-size coffee.

He ordered a regular coffee for 110 yen (regarding 1,000 won) at a local convenience store and accidentally squeezed a large coffee for 180 yen (regarding 1,630 won). After noticing that the regular coffee cup was not overflowing, he repeated the same action.

The police who responded to the convenience store clerk’s report did not charge Mr. A, but the School Board imposed the highest level of disciplinary action.

The problem is that such cases can also occur in domestic convenience stores.

In the case of “Café 25” from the GS25 convenience store, the capacity of a small cup is approximately 285 ml. Large format coffee is based on 245 ml. The small cup is almost full of large coffee, but it is large enough to drink.

A GS25 official said: “In order to prevent the coffee from easily overflowing during transportation, the drink is set to regarding 70% of the cup size, so you can receive a large coffee even with a cup short. a part that must be left to others,” he explained.

CU “Get Coffee” is divided into three sizes based on hot coffee: M (medium), L (large) and venti. However, except for some stores, there are no size M cups, but only size L and Venti cups are provided.

As a result, you can order an M-sized coffee, receive an L-sized cup, and secretly drink a larger size.

E-Mart 24 only offers one coffee size for hot drinks, and for iced coffee, if you put a regular sized drink in it, it will overflow and it’s impossible to cheat.

7-Eleven also revealed that if you receive a large-sized coffee in a regular-sized cup, the cup will overflow.

Self-service coffee is a system introduced by convenience stores to reduce labor costs, in which one employee manages the entire store for each time zone.

Taking this into account, it is emphasized that the size of the cup must be significantly different depending on the size of the drink, and some voices are raised to say that it is a priority for each consumer to purchase conscientiously.
