Costa咖啡要拒绝未成年人?买咖啡需要身份证?
没错,Costa咖啡,作为世界最大的咖啡连锁品牌之一,现在声称自己不“鼓励”把咖啡卖给未满16岁的顾客,每家店可以自行决定是否向疑似太年轻的顾客售卖咖啡。 "We do not encourage the sale of caffeine to children under 16 and it is at store discretion to question a customer’s age if they have any concerns,” a spokesperson confirmed to the Manchester Evening News. Costa咖啡本来已经在夏天推行过这个政策,但这个事件是这次才见诸报纸头条的,因为英国威尔士的一位父亲得知Costa拒绝向他12岁的女儿出售咖啡;他说女儿只是偶尔买来喝着玩。 “I had never heard of Costa doing this before,” he told the Daily Post. "If they are concerned about health then perhaps they should also stop selling cakes or high calorie drinks to overweight children because obesity is a far more serious health issue in this country than caffeine consumption,” he added. The dad also claimed that Costa Coffee’s advertising is partly “aimed at younger people,” though Costa denied this in a statement to Manchester Evening News. 他还引述了美国儿科学会的未成年人咖啡因摄入量建议:每日100毫克。 Costa咖啡在今年10月也曾经被推到风口浪尖,他们当时的一条广播广告声称买他们的早餐比买牛油果更划算。 “Oh, there's a great deal on ripen-at-home avocados. Sure, they'll be hard as rock for the first 18 days, three hours and 20 minutes, then they'll be ready to eat, for about 10 minutes, then they'll go off," the radio ad spot said. "For a better deal, head to Costa Coffee and grab a delicious, piping hot bacon roll or egg muffin for just £2 ($2.60) when you buy any Medio or Massimo hot drink or flat white before 11 a.m." |
