UPDATE:
If you ever walk past a Costa or go inside, be sure to pick up any receipts you find, then once a week go in and ask the Barista to add those receipts to your Costa card. Boom a free hot drink to give to the homeless or drink yourself.
ALSO: “Costa sometimes run ‘surprise and delight’ promo, if you are cheery and happy rather than miserable they can choose you to have a freebie I just got my second free coffee in a different Costa. Worth letting people know to order a large just in case.”
