Starbucks to Give Away Free Coffee
By stlplace on Mar 15, 2007 in China
Dripped coffee only, available 10 AM to noon Friday March 16 in participating stores in China, as I understand from this Yahoo news people in US already enjoyed it on March 15. Actually I heard it from my coworker first. Please don’t pass on to the people work in Cloud 9, as I don’t like wait in long line 
Fun aside, I think Starbucks is doing extremely well in Shanghai. In the Cloud 9 there are 2 Starbucks, virtually shut out the competitor “Coffee Beans”. I saw that particular coworker had one cup everyday. But I tried to stay away from it due to various reasons. I am sure they won’t miss my business because there are so many coffee drinkers in China these days…
(Update Mar 16) At 10:12 AM, I am the No 51 to receive the coffee. There are about 50 people behind me now. Free stuff is always good, especially from Starbucks.
