FREE tall Starbuck's Nov 4th, if you vote!

[CoffeeCat]

If you go into a Starbuck's on Tuesday, November 4th, and tell them that you voted--they'll give you
a free tall coffee!

Watch this little bit on the Starbuck's site. I thought it was inspiring!

1. Aw :(

We don't have a starbucks where I live and Greensboro is an hour away. That sucks. Would have enjoyed a free anything :)

[msongs]

2. tall? does that mean the smallest size available according to starbucks' lingo lol nt

[HCE SuiGeneris]

23. Yep... tall is small in this

WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH, 2008 version of 1984.

3. Theres a Starbucks right up my street, plus I already voted yesterday so....

I have the "I voted" stickers to prove it, I might drop in to take them up on that offer. It would be my first time going to Starbucks in a loooooooooooooooong time.

[BlooInBloo]

4. Isn't it illegal to pay people to vote?

[stray cat]

8. People already voted and obviously they are not checking you off a voter list

Can you give a drink to people waiting in line to vote. How about giving them a chair

[stray cat]

Thats really cool

[deepthought42]

5. Sweet! I know what I'm taking to class

that night! coffee!!!! FREE coffee. :donut: Mmmm...

[Clio the Leo]

6. Will they bring it to me while I"m standing in line? NT

[Clio the Leo]

9. ... and would they be offended if I asked them to pour it..

... directly into my Obama thermos? :)

[vanderBeth]

7. Hmpf. I don't drink caffeine.

:(

[CoffeeCat]

29. You can get decaffeinated, I'm sure....

If you like decaf, go for it!

:)

[vanderBeth]

32. There's still some caffeine in decaf

You can have mine. :P

10. I don't buy Starbucks

Ever since Howard Schultz sold the Seattle Supersonics to a bunch of right wing Swiftboater assholes.

But since it's free I'll go in wearing my t-shirt with this logo.

[stranger_with_candy]

11. better offer: free ben & jerry's

[MassLiberal]

26. I know

I'm bummed I don't have a B&J's near me. :-(

[onehandle]

12. I'm there. nt

[Occam Bandage]

13. That seems more like a disincentive. Starbucks is terrible coffee for pretentious ignoramuses.

[comrade snarky]

19. Isnt that one of those right wing memes?

You know, "everyone who doesn't think like I do is stupid and a jerk".

Or is that us now too?

[dbackjon]

20. no kidding.

[Occam Bandage]

21. ...what? No, that's a pretty common occurance throughout humanity at large.

Regardless, Starbucks is still mediocre coffee that sells itself to people who are concerned more with branding than value or quality. Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds both offer better coffee for less money; I haven't yet seen a blind taste-test that puts Starbucks over either (or anywhere but at the bottom of the list, for that matter).

[comrade snarky]

35. Hmmm

You don't like Starbucks. Whatever... Hate those Latte Drinking Elitist Liberals too cause that's usually associated? Or is is just fun to insult other peoples taste when you don't have to worry about them being able to reach you?

By the way, McDonalds coffee is crap and the people who drink it probably eat their own feces.

Hey! That is fun!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

37. Yeah. Dunkin Donuts. Don't you just love spending money at a chain of dirty restaurants ....

.....that pay minimum wage and no benefits?

:eyes:

[Left Is Write]

41. Really? Interesting.

We don't have Dunkin Donuts here, and I've never met a McDonald's coffee that didn't taste like it was sitting on a warmer for a week and a day.

I prefer Caribou, but we don't have those here either, and I darn well like Starbucks. And, yes, I'm so terribly concerned with branding. :eyes: I want everyone to know I drink Starbucks coffee 'cause it's so dang prestigious. I'm always shoving my cup in their faces, saying, "Look! I drive a six-year-old car and wear last year's clothes, but I'm cool 'cause I drink STARBUCKS."

Oh. Wait. I don't actually do that. But please, don't let facts get in the way of your preconceptions.

[MassLiberal]

28. I disagree

I love Starbucks coffee and am neither pretentious nor an ignoramus.

[Occam Bandage]

30. I am forced to disbelieve one of your three assertions.

[Left Is Write]

39. Don't worry. I'll be right along with you as we are forced to cop to our pretentiousness

and ignoramus-ness.

Personally, I think it's more than a little pretentious to make such judgments about people based on the coffee they drink, but what do I know? I'm just an ignoramus.

[comrade snarky]

42. Ha!

:toast: With Coffee!

[Hippo_Tron]

33. It is terrible coffee but that has nothing to do with pretentious ignoramuses

And unfortunately there's nowhere else within walking distance to get an iced coffee sometimes.

[comrade snarky]

36. It's medoicre I agree

But if I'm in Phoenix in the summer and I NEED a caffeine hit I'm probably going to find a Starbucks before anything else.

However, it's great they are encouraging people to vote.

[spoony]

38. But even terrible coffee is ok, especially if it's free

:)

[comrade snarky]

43. Now you're talkin

I left the "g" off to show I'm not pretentious.

I've drunk Holiday Inn in room coffee because it's there and free <shudder>

[bigwillq]

14. I don't go to Starbucks.

I'll pass.

[Raine]

15. COOL

I'll go in and get one B-) THANKS for that info! :yourock:

[ecstatic]

16. Free Krispy Kreme donuts with the "I Voted" sticker

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Krispy-Kreme-Shows-That-Every/story.aspx?guid=%7B2299DF6D-8D01-417A-8EBF-A2420A0FAB4C%7D

[doc03]

27. If I drive 40 miles to Washington PA I can get a free

Starbucks Coffee and a Krispy Kreme Donut. That would cost me $8.20 for gas not very cost effective.

[EastTennesseeDem]

17. Hopefully the Halloween lady doesn't work at Starbucks

[Quixote1818]

18. Smart move on their part. If we win Democrats will associate Starbucks with happy times

and be drawn back for nostalgia. Republicans who lose will just think of it as the one good thing about the day. Both sides will appreciate it and want to come back.

[goodgd_yall]

22. I saw that.

Too good a deal to pass up!

[leeroysphitz]

24. I guess, maybe, that I will try and vote this year after all.

I mean, what, with free coffee and all...

[doc03]

25. I voted a month ago, if tell them I voted on November 4th

that would be a lie.

[mwei924]

31. Meh, starbucks is like a 15 minute walk from my place.. and it's set to rain.

[Kat45]

34. Shoot, I don't drink coffee.

I wonder if they'd give me one of their signature hot chocolates. :9

[Kool Kitty]

40. The salted caramel hot chocolate?

Gimme, gimmee, gimmeee...

[glowing]

45. I like the hazelnut one.. that is just yummy.

[onetwo]

44. The text in that video is in the same font as the writing on most Obama promotional materials.

Think that means anything?
