When I used to live in Norway you could buy a coffee cup (an actual cup) from Statoil (petrol station) and you could drink free coffee with that cup forever (in Statoil stations of course). That was 7 years ago though, so it could have changed by now.

I'm pretty sure that's still a thing (in Denmark at least). It's a different economic proposition, it's more of a "loyalty program" to make Statoil the default choice for gas than an effective way to pay for coffee. Also, the quality of the coffee wouldn't be competitive in NYC, to put it politely.
Forever? So people who bought it back then can still drink for free? If you buy it now it only lasts for a year I think.
