No one loves losing an hour of sleep when we “spring forward.” But until we can agree on a better system, Daylight Saving Time looks like it’s here to stay.

Thankfully, the fine people of Wescom Credit Union are making the clock adjustment a bit more seamless with the 9th annual edition of their Wescom Kindness initiative. The promotion gives SoCaler’s the chance to pick up free drinks and goodies at participating Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations this Sunday, March 12.

There are 22 participating locations in all, spread throughout Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. Each store receives $2,000 from Wescom to reimburse food and beverage bills for the day, at a maximum clip of $15 per transaction. Tabs will be paid beginning from the moment the doors open on Sunday until funds are exhausted. Pretty simple, right?

Now, I’m not ashamed to admit that this is one of those deals that I routinely take advantage of, so let me dispense some wisdom. My modus operandi is arrive shortly after opening (yes, I’m one of those annoying early risers), and I always convince my partner/co-founder Christina to tag along so we can place separate orders. Must. Maximize. Freebies.

Surprisingly, most of my fellow early bird customers aren’t aware of the offer when they order, but the Coffee Bean team members are happy to break the good news. Definitely makes for a pleasant vibe.

My gut says that word gets around by the mid-morning and early afternoon, but I can’t tell you what the crowd is like, or what time they usually run out of funds, because at that point I’m long gone. My suggestion is to likewise go fairly close to opening, but ultimately you gotta do you.

Browse below to see if you’ll be a nearby location, and maybe you too will forgo extra sleep this Sunday to grab some gratis coffee… and snacks… and a pastry.

Enjoy!
