My washer doesn't have one.  The washers we had in college had them, and I used the cup.  I always washed it out first though, because those things got NASTY inside. 
I don't use fabric softener anymore.  My clothes feel noticeably better when I use it, but I think fabric softener is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist - I've never felt discomfort due to the lack of softness of my fabrics. 
Also - isn't fabric softener supposed to be added during the rinse cycle?  I thought that was why they have the dispenser - to delay mixing it.
