Starbucks Is Giving Out Free Drinks!

This is not the day to boycott corporate coffee. Our green apron-clad friends over at Starbucks are giving out free iced coffee and cafe con leche until 3 pm today— presumably at all NYC locations.
With a feels-like temperature of 103, this is quite a public service. Enjoy it while you can.


  • uh

    you realize that caffeine excaberates dehydration, and doesn’t alleviate it?

    get a decaf. and enjoy the 45 minute long line.

  • Excaberator

    I got all excited about this until I remembered I’m not in New York.

    why is everything on here anyonomous. it seems that the idea is that the comments wouldn’t be anyonomous, much like the now deceased cucommunity.

    Gawker has video from one of the stores… looks like mayhem. Today would have been a really bad day to be a Starbucks employee in NYC.

  • really now

    Is there ever a good day to be a Starbucks employee?

    • At leastPosted from campus

      you get health insurance. They were on Fortune’s “Top 100 companies to work for” — as wage slaving go, it’s pretty OK.

      • yeah..

        actually it’s a pretty good place to work..some of the lower level jobs even get stock options

  • Shira

    yeah, I’m thinking most days at Starbucks are better than most days at Wal Mart.

  • melisa

    speaking from experience, it’s definitely a decent place to work. depends a lot on the location, though.
