A slight miscalculation

Last week I ordered a half order of biodegradable cups (4 boxes of 1000) to try out in our lounge. When the invoice arrived, we had a bit of a shock - we had completely miscaculated the price difference. When we looked at the invoice for the styrofoam cups we took the price to be the price per box, when in fact it was the cost of the entire order of 8 boxes. So instead of the biodegradable cups being $30 less per box there were actually over $100 more and instead of saving the company $300/month we accidentally spent $400 extra. Oops.

It's really too bad. I still believe that we should try and find a way to use biodegradable cup sin the lounge. The woman I spoke to a Green Shift expressed interest in the price difference between their paper cups and styrofoam cups, so I think I'll send her an email to let her know what kind of pricing comparison they're up against.
