Sippy cups for patrons

Please people keep control of your beverages while in the library. If you cannot handle drinking your beverage without spilling then we need to talk. Pre-schoolers have better handling skills than some of the people I've seen. Today for example. A nice patron managed to spill 1 liter of water onto the floor in the computer lab. We had to contain the lake left behind by the patron that ran off. Now we have fans running so that the carpet will not be an invitation for nasty microbes. I despise playing "Mom" at work.

Or the time last winter when a patron managed to spill their Venti Starbucks coffee onto the desk, keyboard, mouse and CPU. The person left in such a hurry that their cup was still laying where it fell. I only noticed the mess because I heard this loud beeping from the computer, because it was damaged! That was the worst mess we have had with our computers in some time. Thankfully we replaced them all recently. I cannot understand why people disappear immediately afterward. Responsibility is evaded so much nowadays. I miss the old times when people actually admitted to mistakes and were at least willing to help clean up their spills.
