Guess I'll have to go to class early so I can vote to get free coffee on the way to class so I won't waste gas if I go after class due to where voting is, where I live, and where Starbuck's is located. To bad it wasn't for a latte. I also noticed in the add they called their venti size a large in the add. How about changing the name at the counter also! :rant;

turns out it's illegal to offer products in exchange for voting, so Starbucks is giving coffee away to anyone, voter or not.

In that case I'm going down to the slum and get my free cigarette too.

Krispy Kreme is also offering a donut if you vote.  Just one problem (as pointed out by Channel 4 news last night).  It is illegal in the state of California to offer a gratuity just because someone voted.

Eli's Cheesecake here was giving away regular sized slices, unfortunately I need to live in Chicago to go to their factory in time for the offer. I did however stop at all 3 Starbucks on the way to class. The actual Starbuck's store had a special line just for the free coffee, but I ordered a latte also. The other 2 are in a grocery store and a Target. I did give one cup to a classmate. He needed caffeine, but I didn't tell him it was decaf :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; I had to see his reaction, I mean I was doing a scientific study to see if their was an effect on tiredness...yeah that's it, that's the idea! :rofl;

Good.  I like my coffee like I like presidential candidates.  Strong, Tall, and Black.

But Starbucks has no idea was tall means! Tall to them means short and less filling  :rofl;
1 of my pet peeves about Starbucks is their darn names of the size of cups. Tall should never be antiquatted to mean a small 12 0z cup uless the only sizes available are 4 and 8 oz cups that were used in my dialysis unit.
