Not really when it comes to food. It's either sanitary or it's not. Even if it's simply "dirty", I expect someone to clean it and in the meantime provide me with a sanitary cup of coffee, not pay me hundreds of dollars. The points are a bonus.

But I am genuinely interested in what dirty food you would consume (or be content with 5000 points), and where the line crosses over to filthy. As another poster mentioned, $27.50 buys a lot of replacement coffee...10x price in many places.
