I worked in coffee for a few years around the city, and we always offered a free drip/cold brew to those who bought a whole bag of beans. I just stopped by Joe and they told me they don't do that anymore. The last time I went, I had to ask and the barista seemingly caved in and said "we don't really do this anymore". I've worked at some of the bigger specialty chains in the city too, so I'm just wondering when that stopped.

The other place I go to when I'm in the office only does it if you ask but thankfully I'm cool with them so it feels less annoying to ask for.

Does your local place still offer this? Has it stopped? Why did it stop?

As you can probably tell, this has got me more peeved than I really think it should, but it is what it is lmao. Time for me to make my coffee
