Commuters leave it late for breakfast
PEOPLE spend nearly £4.50 on average grabbing their morning coffees, croissants, teas and other snacks – and the peak time for the breakfast run is 8.54am – analysis by a major payments processor has found.
Worldpay made the findings by analysing card transactions it processed in coffee shops and cafes across major UK towns and cities between December 2017 and September 2018.
It found the busiest time for people buying their morning brew is 8.54am - leaving some commuters with just minutes to spare before they start their working day at 9am.
The average amount spent during such trips is £4.44.
But in some areas the average spend was even higher, such as in the Cotswolds town of Stroud where people spend £7.67 when they stop for a hot drink.
