BeanBay GREEN sale - 7th June 2010

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 7th June 2010

I picked up my beans today (from Veneziano, Bris). They were still out the back in boxes.... yes, they were busy! I had a Macchiato and a short black (from different single origins) before I asked for my beans, they were both very nice! One was so fruity you could almost swear the cherry was still intact when it was ground and with a spicy/peppery aftertaste.... yum! and all rounded off with a copy of beanScene to read while I sipped them down.

I also took the time to have a chat as I noticed some old / previous deliveries still waiting for pick up.. Some time today; a list of un collected items will be collated...

Vs did not have all the previous printouts of what has been ordered for Qld and for who; as they have been busy and lots going on and shop movements are ongoing...... (last two deliveries and collection looks OK)

So we may need to wait until Andy can review previous order printouts and we can cross match as to what/who is missing.......

So like the following.....

...except for the places that have unpaid orders.  If your beans dont get to the pickup point in time feel free to direct your agro at the slow payers!  

Consideration for those (Sponsors and or Individuals) that get to;

1: carry the non collected and

2: have to manage stragglers coming and going at all times for a bag of green beans etc...

I emailed Andy about that too AM.

I thought it was a bit odd, must be around 20 bags there...... He suggested perhaps a collection time expiry, resulting in an uncollected goods raffle.
There were brown bean bags in there too. I almost collected from that stash thinking they were the current order...... If it werent for an in the know person coming along, I would have ended up with some (maybe) stale old browns!

Some of it has to be a good few months plus at least..

Bin teh browns..

Auction the rest..

I will do an Audit with Rosa in teh morning... I know they are getting pissed with having teh stuff taking up space and adding confusion to the usual run of things....

Might have a chat to the boss person.. And see about collecting the greens and putting aside ( My place or KK ) until the next CS meet and greet and or a local Qld Raffle; with teh proceeds going to some where neutral..

Cough, cough, ahem.. I appreciate the inititave but dont like the solution.

I think emailing Andy before calling the shots on CSrs beans might be far more polite.

Lets go off-line.

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 7th June 2010

I like the idea of the raffle but I think at least one more attempt should be made to contact the purchasers before we dispose of their goods. Plus, there may be trade practices that govern the disposal of uncollected purchases.

Perhaps the non-collectors may think someone will contact them to let them know the beans have arrived. I work in the customer service industry and no longer surprised by the assumptions and false expectations of consumers. But I am also conscious of the enormous goodwill Andy has generated in running CoffeeSnobs and the BeanBay.

Could I make a suggestion that people who dont pay for their beans within, say, a week have their beans delivered at the next monthly BeanBay, or by post at their additional expense. I thought an order expired after a given time anyway if payment isnt made.
