Starbucks Offers Free Coffee Today to Everyone

Starbucks has created quite the controversy. After their brilliant ad on Saturday Night Live (and I must say it fully caught my attention), Starbucks was faced with outrage by the public. How could they be bribing someone to vote? According to wsj.com, the good news is that Starbucks has pulled their initial offer, concerned that they would be violating election laws, and will now be offering free coffee to anyone that requests it. Even better.

What do you think? Would a free cup of coffee get you out to vote? Do you think Starbucks was violating the law or do you think that this was just a brilliant marketing plan? They’ve definitely made the news. Share your thoughts.

And you knew there was a reason you voted. Well, yes there are many reasons, but now you can add another one to the list. Starbucks is offering a free tall-sized brewed coffee to anyone that votes on Tuesday. How will they know? In most cases, they will just take your word. So go, get out there and vote, and enjoy a nice, hot cup of coffee.

For those of you that missed it, here’s a replay of the commercial that played on Saturday Night Live regarding their special offer.
