Coffee Cart Ban is the 10th episode of Season 4 and the 62nd overall episode of the Nickelodeon TV series Zoey 101. It originally aired on April 6, 2008.

Plot

After an accident involving coffee carts and his wife, Dean Rivers bans all coffee carts at PCA and makes a rule that no coffee is allowed on campus. Logan and Michael start selling coffees in their room, but overcharges his customers, selling large coffees at $9 per cup, and $1 more for sugar. When the girls find out, they decide to open another coffee sale in their room, but they charge less than half of what Michael and Logan charge, at $4 per large cup. Logan finds out, and he decides to tell Dean Rivers about them selling coffee in their room. So, the girls try to sabotage the boy's coffee shop with a laser to shoot all of the plastic cups. Unfortunately, both the girls and the boys get caught and are brought to Dean Rivers' office. Dean Rivers tries to expel them for illegally selling coffee, but when one of the lasers reveals that he has also been secretly drinking coffee himself, the coffee cart ban is ultimately lifted.

Goofs

  • After Zoey finds out that Dean Rivers is coming to her dorm to bust her, there are no water bottles on the shelf behind Quinn. A while later, the camera focuses on Quinn taking two water bottles off the same shelf.
  • When Quinn pours the coffee in the cup as the boy is paying four dollars in her dorm room, the stage studio lights are clearly visible in the reflection of the coffee pot.
  • Lola tells Zoey there’s eight more people outside who want to enter their dorm room. But when Lola opens the door to let them in, only five (six including Stacey) people are seen entering their dorm room.
  • Logan knocks the coffee out of J.T.'s hand and it lands on the floor, but in the next scene, there's no stain on the floor.
  • In Vince is Back, Vince is offered a javaccino and says he doesn't drink coffee. But when he kisses Lola in the lounge, she says his lips taste like coffee.
    • Maybe he began drinking coffee between the two episodes.
  • When Quinn pulls Logan aside to speak to him, whenever the camera shows Quinn's face, her shirt is over her right shoulder. However, when the camera cuts to Logan, you see that Quinn's shirt is hanging off her right shoulder.
