Why Resist Free Coffee

October 23rd, 2009 by keen bean

I just received a voucher for free coffee at a nearby pastry shop, and this got me a wondering. I ponder how often a company offers such a coffee gift, and how many people follow up on the offer. Now, I know I am one of those people who will make an attempt to go and claim my free treat, especially when it involves free coffee. Still, I am curious about whether I am an exception or not.

I mean sure, the natural inclination is to believe that the people respond to free items, or stores would not bother to go through the process. All I can do, for my best interest, is to hope that everyone else does go for their gift, so the offers keep a coming. Still, I must also secretly wish that the little pastry shop does not get an barrage of people, because they may find they took to big of a loss and never make the offer again. Just a little food for thought.
