Assuming that you still like the grinders, why not bring them a six pack of your favorite bottled beer weekly and ask them to keep it chilled for you. They might laugh and go for the suggestion. Then post ride, you just arrive, order your grinder and preferred beer. This will send them a subtle message, too, that you're a neighborhood customer and you would prefer a different beer selection.
