Starbucks "Free" Coffee? Not!

A couple of years ago I blogged here regarding my expensive addiction to Starbucks coffee.

Overpriced coffee


Unfortunately, since that time I have not been able to kick the habit.
Well, this morning on my way to work I get a phone call from my Dad telling me that Starbucks is giving out free coffee from 10-12 in the afternoon.

So I show up at about 10 minutes to ten and get served at about 5 minutes to 10. Here I am ordering a grande decaf (my second coffee of the morning...it's all in the mind..;-)) for 2 bucks and change.....it's free though..right?

Wrong!

She charged me full price when my watch read 1 minute to 10 o'clock!!! (I think my watch might be 30 seconds fast...)
I ask what happened to the "free coffee" promo. and she says "I'm early"!!!

'Twas the worst coffee I ever had...:-((

The moral of the story is, you cannot beat the system!
