Imagine this: you’ve just opened that brown envelope, your hands are a bit shaky, and you need a moment. Enter the free coffee. Places like Costa, Pret, and Greggs often run offers where showing your results slip gets you a hot drink on the house.
One year, my cousin Emma got a free latte after a so-so set of results. She sat there, sugared up, and suddenly the world felt less like an exam paper. It’s a tiny win, but it resets your brain.
So before you panic, plan your route. Check your local coffee chains on social media a couple of days before—they usually announce deals by mid-August.
