Was in 7/11 at Lithgow and bought 2 small $1 coffee’s (cause you get more coffee than 1 x $2 coffee👍🏻👍🏻), ol’ love charged me for one only and said 1 free coffee today. Hopefully nationwide.

Dunno. The staff seemed pretty happy to have a job….. it was Lithgow though…
I work at one, and they pay really well now. Much better than any servo.
How much do you have to pay back?
Was this a deal or a random act of kindness?
Dunno. Maybe she likes old, overweight, unattractive men like me??
Targeted?

If that's the case then I'm going to a 7/11 right now!
I get that it's better value but buying two $1 coffees is a blatant waste of a coffee cup every time you do it.
That’s what I thought. They should make the $2 cup bigger so I don’t have to keep wasting that 2nd cup
Same volume in two $1 cups as the $3 cup! Stupid isn’t it. I put a $1 espresso in my keep cup, then hit $1 cappuccino next and just remove it before it overflows. They always charge me $1 still.
buy 2 keepcups!
Here's how I make my 7/11 coffee:
1) 2 short black shots in a $1 cup (moving cup away prior to each shot "dregs" ending
2) move cup, press and hold hot milk button, wait for the watery stuff to go away, move cup back and fill
3) Pay $1
Much better than just pressing "latte" button for that dish water of a result.
Hate the dregs…
Nice one
That sounds like my method, but I hadn't thought of the dregs / watery stuff movements.
At what point do you know the dregs are coming? I can visually see the watery stuff with the milk part.
Good idea,
I used to hit large and use a small cup to get the 2 shots and then move the cup to the side so one channel of milk filled the cup as there would be too much milk for a small cup
Exactly how i make mine!
Mine too. Must be the OzBargain Special. Except I like long blacks so I do two $1 shots and fill with water. Always charged $1 except one angry dude at a 7-11 in Sydney CBD
Have the employees ever noticed?
I'm sure they've noticed but in over 100 times that I have got a double shot, there has been no comment.
The question is not if they've noticed, but if they actually care enough to say anything.
Yes one franchise owner pulled me up on it, he was overly fussy in general though. I just walk an extra quarter of a block the the next 7/11.
just offer to pour the coffee back into the bean hopper for him?
Honestly, I like to game 7/11 coffee. I put 2x$1 shots in a $2 cup and top up with milk and pay $ 2 (It makes a stronger cup). I think what you're doing breaks the unwritten 7/11 coffee code, 2 X $1 shots plus milk is $2, regardless of what size cup you put it in. Otherwise they'd be called $0.50 shots, which they aren't.
Milk isn't priced, coffee shots are.

Blatant theft. Not cool. Also
Actually, it's a self serve machine, we pick a cup size and fill it with whatever we want.. I didn't see any other "rules".
I could fill the cup with 20 sachets of sugar, milk and a heck tonne of chocolate powder if I wanted, still $1
That's actually correct, it's based on cup size. I've done two shots of coffee in a $1 cup in front of staff and they don't blink an eye
@EspressoDan: My mistake - I can't remember that. I agree - it's not on and I'll stop. But it also means I'll stop buying 7-11 coffee I think
I did this today. It makes for a strong coffee. Thanks! I’m still twitching.
Not active at my local in Brisbane. Just bought a $1 coffee on the way in to work.
[insert bullshit about environment and taking your own cups here]
Dunno why you got so many negs. Climate change isn't real and we should all become anti-vaxers.
Have an up vote.
lol
Hahaha, I think they're just friendly at the Lithgow 7-Eleven. I pop in there whenever I'm out there for work.
All servos in Lithgow are friendly from my experience (and often very cheap!).
The staff at Lithgow are astounding. The loveliest people. They've given me free coffees from time to time so it might be a random thing, not a promotion.
I got a pepsi max at 7/11 in Melb CBD and got given a free coffee voucher this morning, so maybe it's a thing?
I got a couple of vouchers last week. I think they occasionally promote their coffee by giving out vouchers. I remember the same thing happening last year.
I got a pepsi
Ok, this could mean 3 things, at least:
- You bought a Pepsi
- You got a free Pepsi (under promotion)
- You used the Five Finger discount to obtain the Pepsi (for free)
Please pick one and let us know (if the pepsi was free or not)
Thanks.
He probably means that he procured said beverage via monetary exchange, thus entering into a contract via which he was permitted to take said beverage and mix it with Carbolic Smoke Balls as he saw fit.
I doubt he stole the drink and they gave him a coupon on his way out.
tough crowd.
Can't make any jokes on OzBargain. Oh well.
yes, you are probably right, he probably didn't steal it.
True ozbargainers always use the 5 finger discount
You sound like a fun person to be around.
You have contributed so much to the OzB community in ~6 years, it's so great to have you around here - I don't know what we'd do without you?

pepsi max*
This is exactly what I am needing!
(if you don't get context look at my latest post)To be honest, i've found that coffee not too bad for $1.
Way better in value when paying $4.00 in the city for a sh*tty coffee…Used the app for a free regular coffee and was going to purchase another, old mate behind the counter gets out a little coupon booklet which i'm guessing is for a free regular coffee, so ended up with TWO free regular coffees. This was across from Wynyard
How is the coffee at 7/11?
What's the train time table to Lithgow?
How much it costs from city to Lithgow ?
thanks driving to lithgow now for the cheap coffee
Lucky you have a car. I am walking to Lithgow since this morning.
Nice photo of your cup catching a ray of sunshine.
It is a very photogenic cup isn’t it!!
I'm here in Lithgow; how do I get from the station to this 7-11?
Have 7/11 stopped ripping off their employees yet?
