Caffeine Freaks: Vote and Get a Buzz On!
The big day finally arrives, and after waiting in line at your local polling place, what better way to get you through a night of watching election returns than a free cup of Starbucks coffee? That’s right, the McDonalds of coffee is offering everyone who says they voted a free cup, and this brilliant marketing ploy is already generating contfoversy over its legality. But here’s the deal: unlike some other restaurants or services offering “election specials” today, no proof of voting is required, so it isn’t technically a violation of voter laws. Much, as I like to diss ‘bux with its multitude of locations a block away from each other, I’m actually quite fond of the blended coffee frappuccinos and the canned Double Shots, which I always carry while traveling to quickly jolt the jet lag.
