Peet's Coffee Shops

March 09, 2023 03:18AM
Has anyone else noticed 3 different MSC's are posting the Peet's coffee shops ? One could certainly catch a caffine buzz. Haven't seen Peet's posted in a long time so maybe these are trials to figure out who the contract will be awarded to.

OMG! I wish you could name the MSC because I did tons of them years ago before the contract ended. I really like doing them. At least tell us where you are so as to not get my hopes up!?

One is the MSC who had the Pete's, grocery store, and Speciality locations. Second one is what the goverment uses in decision making. Third, is you come in right after first place you are .... and if there are no customers waiting in line there are ....

Hm, tips for one and three sound like the same company to me. And government, like a service that depends on weight and speed? lol

I saw them with 1 company in my area. It had a $5 fee and I don't drink coffee, so it wouldn't be worth it to me. If it got bonused to $15 (which i doubt it would in a heavily shopped area), I could do the shop and throw out the coffee.

Peet's is still in business? They closed all the locations here 9 years ago.

With all 3 MSC's you also get to order a food item with the coffee which is also reimbursed.

Yes, alive and going strong where I live. The Speciality cafes that served Peet's (and were also shopped) did however go out of business.

If you did tons of them years ago then you know who the 1st one is.

Second one, no something that is read or discussed to make a decision. New hint -- did JIB shops.

Third one, new hint - it is 3 words, whereas 1 is only 1 word and was recently aquired by another company, but still uses its original name.

Specialties were nice bakeries located in high-rise structures in Seattle/San Fran/Los Angeles. They might have had other locations, but they were mostly tied to the downtown areas of major cities. They went out of business before Covid hit. Even if they would have been around, COVID and the work from home would have certainly decimated their business.

Used to do Peet's for the old company (stand alone stores) Managed to snag one the last round. Easier shop, no bathroom visit, no stupid questions, no browsing displays, just act like a normal solo customer . Required purchase an espresso drink and bakery good, reimbursed with $5 fee. Some will whine that it isn't worthwhile but I combined with several other in the area resuling in a hefty combined fee. Took a while for editor review which is always worrying but it was approved. Enjoyed the visit, had not been inside a Peet's since prepandemic, and there are only a few around. I live in So Cal so glad at least some stores made it through our lockdowns. This one was super crowded.
