Though you also have to throw in the fact that staff in places like this really aren't given any incentive to protect the company's profit line and so giving away a coffee for an easy life rather than bothering to argue about it is pretty standard. I mean, just last week I gave some poor old fella a £5 free bet on the grand national for his "coupon from the paper"... Which I'm pretty sure was for B&Q or Homebase or something. Because I just don't care enough to spend 15 minutes trying to argue about it.
