My family and friends (and of course myself) really enjoy spiced eggnog coffee from Second Cup. We were very upset to find out that it has been discontinued. Now we're not talking about a latte. It's the ground flavoured coffee that we were looking for. It's a tradition for us to give, receive and enjoy this coffee during December.
Our local Second Cup store suggested that we e-mail head office to let them know our thoughts. So that's what we did. First we all received the same response back. If we gave them our credit card number and told them how much we would want, they would "attempt" to fill our order. No price given nor shipping charge. Several of us asked if the coffee could be shipped to our local store for us to pick up. Again we were asked how much and what is your credit card number. No cost provided.
Finally I received an e-mail from a gmail account asking for my credit card number saying that they were a Second Cup store in Halifax and they had the coffee available. How much did I want and they would "try" to get it out to me.
Wait a minute....an unsecured gmail address is asking for my credit information, still not providing the cost of the coffee or the shipping charges and they would "try" to get me the coffee. No thanks. If Second Cup can fill the orders for a store in Halifax, they can fill the order for our local stores here in Edmonton.
So what flavour will my friends and family be enjoying this year? Glad you asked. The Winners stores carry a brand called Grande Kaffee Colection. So far I have picked up their Icicle Delight (dark chocolate with a hint of peppermint), and Jingle Berries Coffee (chocolate, berries and vanilla).
As we meet up for coffee at the malls during the holidays, we will keep an eye out for other holiday flavours. But really Second Cup....you can provide the coffee for some provinces, do not provide the cost per pound, just a demand for our credit card numbers.....and you will "attempt" to get us the coffee.....
