Better to join the Rapha Club than Sigma?

Saw an email from Sigma Sport today advertising so training rides (30k!) and it says if you puncture you buy everyone coffee (puncture twice coffee and cake)!!!!!
Not something we do in my club (not the Rapha I hasten to add) do others?
Yes of course if someone has say stayed back and perhaps sorted out a persons bike then an act of kindness at the coffee stop is appreciated (but seldom taken up on, we are all club mates after all).
Do others have this 'coffee and cake' rule when riding? Made me think that it might be cheaper to join the Rapha club and have complimentary coffee rather than ride with Sigma Sport.

I'm thinking its a bit of a joke really ? Who takes out THAT amount of cash ? I dont take a card out with me.
I went years without P*nctures but had an absolute mare last year. Impact punctured on a pothole and then couldnt get enough air into it and had two more. Worst days cycling in decades. We dont run the coffee rule - thank god !0 -
I would buy my clubmates coffee if they fixed the flat for me - if not, they can f-off and buy their own...0
