Starbucks, you jerk
I hear on the radio "Starbucks is giving away free coffee!" and because "free" and "coffee" have just occurred in the same sentence, I immediately call my supervisor to tell him I'll be late. "I can't help it, man," I say. "The coffee is free." However, when I arrive and timidly ask the barista "Is it true?", what does she say but "It's true after 10." I cried a little, and paid for a marbled mocha macchiato, because it is one of the finest coffee drinks around (abbreviated "MMM" which is surely a sign), but in my heart I'll never forgive you. Jerk.
