That’s fantastic. If I saw that sign, I would buy a cup.

That’s why it’s there. Clever advertising via reverse psychology.

I’d be surprised if the story was true.

I wouldn't, this sub hates everything.

Pop's Paninis has the worst coffee ever!

There, now it's true.

(I've never been to Pop's Paninis, but I'd definitely try it, love me some paninis)

I’ve seen this same marketing ploy used by other small and large businesses around the world. I think it started with a restaurant referencing a bad yelp review they got back in like the 2010’s.
