Starbucks expects to give away 500,000 cups of coffee between 10 AM and noon today, celebrating the first ever National Coffee Break. From the Starbucks press release: “In more than 7,500 stores, partners (employees) will pour tall (12-ounce) cups of coffee for surprised customers and delighted commuters.” Since I have a bit of free time, I am going to hit the 35 Starbucks establishments in my general

neighborhood during those two hours and really soak ‘em.
