Well, I went in to a Starbucks 30 miles away after driving down the mountain in a snowstorm. I was on my way to a rural high school and go right by one. I went in and asked if they were giving away a free coffee today.
"For what?" they asked.
"Because I heard on TV that if you voted Starbucks would give you a coffee but can't legally so you just ask."
"But what do you say?" they asked.
"Please?" I replied.
"No." the team giggled. I was getting embarrassed.
"Did you do something….?" One of the girls asked.
"I voted." I said
The group behind the counter cheered.
Boy I sure had to work for that one. I said "Yes, but you can't ask that!"
"We didn't ask if you voted. You told us."
Well. Technically they did ask and legally they went against what was the issue I heard on TV, but - oh well. I got my free coffee. So if you want to try today, know going in to say "I voted today and I would like a free coffee" and you should be good to go.
Good luck. I am off to do some AT and hopefully make it easier for others to receive from me today than what I just went through!
All the best to you.
