You know how we all consume way too much “merch” at the accounting shows (bags, pens, furbies, etc), well have you ever returned merch to a supplier? 😂 I have 🙋🏼♀️ At Digital Accountancy Show I was given coffee from Apron, but when I returned home I realised it was coffee beans and I don’t have a coffee grinder. So at Xerocon I returned the beans to Apron and in return Zach gave me a bag of ground coffee. I also returned a Xero bag that I didn’t want any more 🙊 The coffee is great though ☕️👌 #returnthemerch
