Another broken business model zombie that's ripe for the axe. I don't think that's the issue here - my first question would be where are these jobs going from (and I suspect it's stores that should never have been open - heck Shildon had a Costa).

longgone Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 For the fixed monthly fee a customer can select any "barista prepared" drink from a skinny soya latte to a smoothie, using their phone to access the subscription, up to five times a day, seven days a week. To prevent misuse by anyone planning to get in a round of coffees for their friends and colleagues, each drink must be collected 30 minutes apart.
