Huh&gt; we gave away more than 500 &nbsp;cups out, without additional staffing or enough supplies to back up the draw on our supply &nbsp;of cups and coffee! We have to order a week in advance and don&#39;t keep a huge backstock due to space. Next time give a bit of lead when &quot;your lightbulbs&quot; go on!!! Or save it for next time.</p> <img src="http://blogs.starbucks.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2120" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.starbucks.com/blogs/customer/archive/2008/10/31/free-Starbucks-for-voting.aspx#2074Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:17:55 GMT78013501-7789-4bd6-8e5b-34e5e997c88b:2074gfannick<p>So, Sbux, &nbsp;is it true or not that you changed this idea to give *everyone* free coffee because it is illegal to offer someone something in exchange for voting? Not your fault if so, but state the truth not just &quot;to make it easier&quot;.</p> <img src="http://blogs.starbucks.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2074" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.starbucks.com/blogs/customer/archive/2008/10/31/free-Starbucks-for-voting.aspx#1989Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:17:15 GMT78013501-7789-4bd6-8e5b-34e5e997c88b:1989Melody13<p>^ Oh weird - that was me up above at 8:1o pm.</p> <p>Melody</p> <img src="http://blogs.starbucks.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1989" width="1" height="1">
