Say what you will about Starbucks ("Their coffee sucks," "Their coffee is overpriced," "I hate Starbucks," etc.), but the brand knows how to pull me into a store, and I'm not talking about Pumpkin Spice Lattes (So sue me - they're delicious, and if you can't accept this, you've obviously never had a Pumpkin Spice Latte). And in regard to me being a sucker and loving everything that's free, even if it's from an evil corporation, Starbucks has done it again. They are offering up free pastry on July 21st. All the details are below.
I have a history of cashing in on Starbucks' freebies. The last time I traded my soul to Starbucks was on Election Day 2008. After voting at St. Anthony's Church, I walked on over to the Starbucks on Houston and West Broadway for a free cup of plain black coffee. Granted, the coffee was disgusting and there is not enough skim milk and Splenda in the world to hide that fact, free is free. So, I drank as much as that coffee as I could (five sips worth) and threw the rest in the trash. Sometimes good things come in small packages i.e. five sips.
I'm confident that the free pastry day will be a bit more successful. Love 'em or hate 'em, Starbucks' Rainbow Cookie and Blueberry Scone kick ASS. Their Cranberry Bliss Bar isn't anything to stick your nose up at either.
