GEVALIA


I just got a sample package of Gevalia Coffee in the mail - this is the third one in about two years. Along with the sample was included an offer of a free coffeemaker if I will subscribe to their service. I was turned down for this great offer twice before because I had already been a member many years ago - I dropped out after about eight months. This offer is evidently for first timers only. As far as I can tell, the offer does not say that but, if it does, it's in very, very fine print. Folgers is good coffee too. So is Hills Brothers. So is Starbucks. I won't send the Gevalia offer in because I know they'll catch it and I'll be left out again. With all the sophisticated databases around you would think my name could be found on their strike out list before they send the offer and not after. Oh well, I'll drink the sample anyway.
