Happy National Coffee Day!
There was a buzz around the office that the local Starbucks that they would be giving away free coffee. Of course I heard about this after I purchased my coffee, but I thought ‘another cup of coffee won’t hurt.’
So when I heard from others in the office that Starbucks started handing out free coffee, I left my office to get my free cup of coffee. I’m waiting in line listening to doctors and nurses coordinate on cell phones with their colleagues “No, you have to be here in order to get the free coffee- they won’t give me two cups. Just get down here before they’re out!”
I didn’t really understand why Starbucks was giving away free coffee, afterall this one is always busy. So when I got up to the fromt of the line I asked them what this was all about.
“I don’t know,” the woman replied “something about National Coffee Day. I guess every Starbucks is giving away free coffee for two hours or something.”
She handed me the coffee and said “have a good Coffee Day.” Who knew that even coffee has it’s own special day for celebration? Either way I got a free cup of coffee out of it. Happy Coffee Day!
