Courting potential customers
It looks like Citibank have been very busy this week tempting potential customers with their free coffees. Apparently the barista has been making quite a few hundred a day, even closer to a thousand. Obviously it's a ploy to bring customers to them like a fly to a spiders web. I noticed anyone wearing business attire were potentially approached by the reps in light conversation about other promotional bank offerings. Thankfully I snuck under the radar with my jeans and t-shirt looking like a tourist — or maybe they were just having a break from talking. My free cappuccino was a bit on the milky side but thankfully not bitter and quite drinkable without sugar for a non-coffee drinker like myself. Flat white and mochas were also on offer and I'm sure the barista could make other styles like an espresso.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Free coffee, Didn't have to wait too long, Barista was friendly, Central location, I'm sure the bank managers are eager to please potential customers
CONS: Coffee was a little milky and missing a strong depth of roasty flavour but OK for me, Not sure if they'll be continuing next week but depends how this week worked out for them
MUST TRY: Getting the coffee without being approached by the reps unless you're actually wanting to know more about the Citibank offerings

Free coffee comes complete with promotional link of course

A busy barista in action
If you're wearing business attire you'll probably be targeted by the Citibank reps. I wasn't approached wearing my jeans and t-shirt. I must have looked like a tourist and snuck under their courting radar
