To think free costa is a bit like free drugs?

Today all costa coffee machines were free, anyone could self serve and get a free coffee /hot chocolate /tea?

I went into two local stores and I promise I am not exaggerating but there were at least 30,if not 50 school children (Def under 16 but most U13) queuing to get their free drink.
When I was at a less than salubrious school the drug dealers used to wait outside school and give out freebies so that we became regular customers.
Ammi cynical to think that Costa were deliberately targeting school children to corner a new market? Fwiw all local machines had run out before 5pm when adults traditionally finish work.

Some of the shops now sell filter coffee for a pound, I undeestand
Still wondering about this sugary coffee!

There were quite a few children/young people getting them earlier when I popped into the petrol station. Mostly getting not chocolate, I think.

I declined the offer as I’m not a big coffee drinker.
