So if they bring a 16 ounce cup and it\u2019s a 6 ounce drink we don\u2019t fill it [all the way] up for them,\u201d said Will Snodgrass, 23, works at a coffee shop in Midtown. \u201cWe measure everything back here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Environmental advocates cheered the legislation Wednesday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\" data-source-unit=\"Inline Newsletter Module Morning Report\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart your day with all you need to know\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe idea behind it \u2014\u00a0that New Yorkers should have the choice to use their own reusable cups at restaurants and coffee shops \u2014is a good idea and common sense.
