If you're planning to be out and about this morning, or can get away from the office for a few minutes, don't forget to stop by the 2nd annual Coffee Break at your nearest Starbucks. All of the stores in the US and Canada, as well as a good number of international cafes, are giving away free coffee from 10am until noon today.
The giveaway only applies to 12-ounce (tall) cups of regular coffee, so you'll still have to pay for a latte or mocha if that's the drink you really want. To take advantage of the free coffee deal if you like flavored beverages, you can simply pay a few cents and have one of the many syrups that Starbucks offers added to your drink, like Caramel , Vanilla, Hazelnut or Cinnamon Dolce, for example. Those last three syrups are available in sugar-free versions as well.

My co-worker went to the 2 nearby Starbucks and reported both had lines of people well out the door and down the block waiting for their freebies.
I've always thought it was a great idea, but they really should whip out the "Starbucks vans" for this kind of event, since people may well spend the 2 hours waiting in line!
