BUYER BEWARE!!!
"There coffee in the morning is excellent. Goodbye Tim Hortons and McDs!
Lattes are a nice treat as well." This was my initial post with a 5 star rating.
I have changed my rating to a one star today. The reason for the change is the poor business practice of this coffee culture. Today I went in to buy my daily coffee, and noticed the "$5 bonus" with a purchase of "$25 gift card." Seeing that I buy a coffee daily, it makes sense to buy the gift card as I will get 3-4 coffees for free. While purchasing the card, I noticed the "$5 bonus" card was a separate card that looked different from the gift card. After hearing the cashier say it has no cash value, I then asked why is it advertised contrary to that. After telling her my daily ritual of buying a coffee, I had to specifically ask her how can I use this card. Her answer was that you should buy something over $5 so the card will cover some of it. In essence, this "bonus" is only useful if purchasing a $5+ item. There is no incentive for a daily coffee buyer to use it, as they feel like they've lost $5 minus the cost of the coffee (-$3).
Because of this gimic, I will no longer choose your coffee culture- and rather opt for a most trust worthy Tim Hortons.
