Starbucks and a free cup of (Pike Place) joe
Get your free coffee!
Starbucks is toasting a new roast today by giving away eight ounce cups of coffee. The brew will be called Pike Place Roast -- named for a destination street in Seattle. The free coffees will last only 30 minutes, starting at 9 a.m. today. If you don't like your sample, find a new coffeehouse.
This will be the coffee company's standard everyday brew nationwide. Starbucks had been rotating its blends, which it says was confusing customers. This is all part of a plan to reinvigorate growth as market share has been chipped away by fast food chains that have been dipping into gourmet coffee.

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
