Coffee shop chain suspends ‘bring your own cup’ campaign amid Covid-19 fears
Café Amazon, a coffee shop chain, on Friday (March 13) suspended its promotional campaign called “Café Amazon for Earth”, which aimed to reduce plastic waste by letting customers bring their own cup when buying a beverage and receive Bt5 discount per cup.
“Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus or Covid-19 in Thailand, the company has decided to suspend the campaign, which was scheduled to run through April 30 at all branches of Café Amazon nationwide, and will also stop giving Bt5 discount throughout the said period,” said the announcement.
The company said the decision was made to increase customers’ safety and prevent the possible spreading of Covid-19 which might come from personal cups brought to the shop.
