I like this day. Not just because we are about to get change we need, but because we are getting coffee we need and for free. If ya don't know by now, today (all day) the good people at Starbucks are offering free tall drips to any drip who votes. Isn't that special? Call it democracy in action, an early X-Mas gift or a brilliant marketing ploy, but this is why we heart Starbucks. That and because the pike place blend is so smooth and rich and filled w/ just the right amount of caffeine. I don't usually pimp other blogs, but starbucksgossip.typepad.com is too good to pass up.Here's a humorous post from a pissed off barista in Manhattan: "Let's say this one more time, for all of the nitwits in some Starbucks' locations who haven't gotten the word, "ANY ONE ASKING FOR A FREE CUP OF COFFEE TODAY, ELECTION DAY, IS ENTITLED TO A TALL COFFEE AT ANY STARBUCKS LOCATION." Period. Wake up and smell the coffee Upper West Side of Manhattan. The manager of these locations should be nailed to the wall by his thumbs."
Too much free coffee could be a bad thing. Anyone know if Christmas blend is on tap yet?
