    Hello.

    I have tested a little bit, and went to cafés and Starbuck-like businesses, and collected the coffee. However, I am wondering how to do it when you want to have coffee on a more regular basis; I can imagine that you should talk to the owner of the establishment.

    If you go to the coffeeshop/café, the owner might not be there, and you need to speak to some kind of boss. (Especially if it is a Starbucks)

    If you send an e-mail, you might come in contact with the owner, but they will probably ignore the e-mail…

    So how have you done, when contacting the cafés? And have you had any written agreements?

    Thank you!

    Hi Camilla,

    what we have always done is to take a printed letter along when collecting and ask if the member of staff you speak to can pass it on to the manager. In this letter, just set out how often you would like to collect and what time of day you will come, what you need them to do etc. Ask in the letter if they can just notify all staff about the arrangement. Then just keep showing up on a regular basis and usually withiin a week or two it becomes established to the point that most/all cafe staff are aware of it and save the coffee for you.

    You may have the odd occasion to begin with where you show up and someone had forgotten to save you the grounds, but this usually stops happening if you just keep going regularly.

    Hope this helps.
    best wishes, Adam
