Vote and the Coffee’s On Us

Coffee Politics
Vote and the Coffee’s On Us

First, it’s worth noting that I’ve been known to give Starbucks grief from time to time… which only stands to reason as they frequently earn the griefing they get. On the other hand, sometimes the folks in Seattle get it dead to rights, and this is one of those times. Vote, Starbucks says, and the coffee’s on us.

Good on them.

For what it’s worth, I’d be delighted to see every indy shop in the country follow suit. You voted? Have a cup of our best… no matter *who* you voted for, no questions asked. Yes… even if you voted for Ron Paul. (In Montana, *especially* if you voted for Ron Paul!)

Vote and the Coffee's on Starbucks

Vote!

‘Cause it’s our democracy, after all… and it’s about time we took some ownership of it. Don’t ya think?
