free coffee - waitrose - holloway 22.03.17

biased you will agree
out of me its oozing
never tasted a free coffee
but can not watch any JL bruising.
the rules are changing
its not red nor totally green
the response is deranging
wafting is anger not the bean.
lets dissect
take it from each side
for paying customers of course its correct
is there any compassion for a free ride.
please have your say
open is my mind even if critical
have you ever experienced holloway
on the entrance is why i am not cynical.
am i pot and kettle
or is this so clever with skill
if near me 'elite' will settle
i am free advertising for mr dunhil.
consume and coffee you will taste
it smells fair from my nose
and when in the village i paste
go down highgate hill and follow on to waitrose.

I've had an email from them.   It seems that, from early April, you'll have to make a purchase first (no amount specified) and ask for a token (or whatever it is) at the till, then get your cup at the service desk.   If you've got a keep cup (which you should have, really), I assume you can go straight to the machine.

That doesn't (even now) work in the cafe.  If you want to sit down indoors, you have to make a purchase in the cafe itself.   However, I've discovered that an upgrade to large qualifies as a purchase, so your basic coffee will cost you 30p.

Never fear MSE has discovered a way to get it for 3p
