In what can only be an effort to further enslave Americans to the evil delights of caffeine, sugar (or sugar substitute), and milk, Starbucks is giving out free coffee this morning between 10AM-12PM. And it's not just free coffee at stores - they are using "Venti Vans" and those coffee backpacks to java junkies up. And if you're a union-supporter, don't feel bad about drinking up Starbucks' largesse (in fact, maybe you want seconds) - if you check out Starbucks Union, you can see what baristas are trying to do, and the workers essentially got a win in the dispute with the coffee chain that made it to the National Labor Relations Board.
Find a Starbucks near you with the store locator. Gothamist on whether Starbucks was overpriced or worth it - new question - is it worth it when it's free - and the gravitational pull of Arabica beans.
