Scene at the Starbuck's this morning, when the line went out the door:
Woman 1: Are you doing the free coffee for voting special?
Barista 1: Are we doing the free coffee for voting?
Barista 2: Yeah, just use code 380 for that.
Barista 1: Do they need to show proof or anything?
Barista 2: No.
Barista 1: Ok, one free coffee for voting! Next?
Me: I'd also like the free coffee.
Person behind me: Me too!
Person behind that person: Me too!
Person behind that person: I'll have that too!
Person behind that person: Free coffee here!
Person behind that person: Good idea, I want that too!
Barista 1: Ok, five free coffees. Next?
Person behind that person: Coffee here.
Person behind that person: I voted!
Person behind that person: Coffee!
Barista 1: Ok, ok, a million free coffees.
Woman 1 to me: I think we just destroyed this Starbucks.

Attn: Free Ben & Jerry's also available today.
Apparently this is illegal vote buying, so anyone can get free coffee today to save SB from a massive lawsuit.
Voted AND destroyed a Starbucks?! You have struck a hard blow for Democracy today! Thank you!
It's too bad my wife didn't find out about this in time. She feels guilty about not getting around to voting yesterday, and a free coffee would have pushed her to make it to the polling place.
