Sir, we are not Wawa starbucks

Friday afternoon this older man came in with one of those reusable cups. Starts grilling me about when those particular cups will be available to buy again. Proceeded to ask/demand that he only be charged for a "coffee refill". He didn't buy a first coffee, so no, can't charge him for a refill.

Me: we give a discount if you bring your own cup, but it won't be a refill. He doesn't seem to get it. Continues to insist it's a refill. I repeat my answer.

Him: At Wawa if you bring your own cup it's a refill.

Me: okay. Would you like anything else?

Him: I need an egg sandwich. No cheese.

Me: I can take the cheese off for you if you want.

Him: I'm allergic to cheese! I can't have cheese.

Me: okay. I'll take the cheese off for you.

Him: and I want it double egg.

Me: I can't do a double egg sandwich, sir.

him: I want a double egg sandwich, no cheese, on an English muffin.

Me: I can make you an egg sandwich and take the cheese off. It comes on an English muffin. But I can't make it a double egg.

At this point, my SS came over.

him: at Wawa they make me a double egg sandwich with no cheese!

SS: sir, all our sandwiches are premade so-

Him: well how long have they been sitting out?!

SS: we get them delivered every morning and we store them in our refrigerator.

Him: at Wawa they make their sandwiches fresh!

my SS and I stared at him. My SS is usually really bubbly and pleasant to customers, but I could tell she was losing her patience.

Me: sir, I'll make you your sandwich. Anything else?

Him: no that's it. (He pays) well, back to Wawa!

Me (internally): good. Bye.

SS (to me): good. Bye Felicia!

Just like... We're not Wawa. We're starbucks. So you can't expect us to have the same practices as Wawa.

TL;DR: guy comes in and doesn't understand that we don't operate like Wawa.
