Let's not get ahead of ourselves, it's only one cup. Read on for details.
I love a great cup o' joe. And it seems I'm not the only one. Americans actually drink 400 million cups of coffee each day. According to CoffeeStatistics.com, that’s about 146 billion cups a year. Hopefully, Starbucks executives know what they're in for by offering a FREE tall cup of coffee Friday, April 19. The deal will last until noon, local baristas said, noting that it was "supposed to be a secret." Although the freebie isn't advertised on the Starbucks website the following message is posted on the company's Facebook page: "Please join us for a free tall House Blend. Tomorrow, until noon." The promotion is also being advertised on Pandora Internet Radio. Follow Us on Facebook!

The coffee company will start offering the $1 cups Thursday.
Starting Thursday, Starbucks will be offering a more eco-friendly way to enjoy their coffee According to the Detroit Free Press, the coffee giant will begin selling reusable cups on Jan. 3 in an attempt to reduce the waste created by customers purchasing millions of beverages every day—and throwing their cups away. The cups will retail for $1 and fill up to a grande size of a cup of joe. Each refill in a reusable cup—be it one of the new tumblers or another Starbucks mug—earns the user a dime off their purchase. The cups have already debuted on the west coast, but will hit all Starbucks location in the U.S. and Canada—including stores in Royal Oak—on Thursday. "We see real excitement about these cups," Starbucks' Jim Hanna told the Free …

As an organization, Patch is built on the idea of strengthening local communities and bringing democracy to life. Our network of websites delivers not only relevant, hyper-local information, but also amplifies the voices of our users. And with difficult choices facing our elected officials in the coming days and weeks, the need for citizens to speak up and be heard has never been greater. It is why I am proud to announce that starting this week, Patch is partnering with Starbucks – another staple of the community – on its “Come Together” initiative. Just as Patch serves great content and Starbucks serves delicious coffee, we need Democrats and Republicans to join forces and serve meaningful solutions to the pending financial obstacles our …

Separate boycotts criticize coffee chain's stances on national issues.
Some religious and political groups are urging Starbucks customers to grab their morning coffee elsewhere in light of the company's stance on gay marriage and its policy on guns. USA Christian Ministries, a group boycotting Starbucks for its recent support of gay marriage in the state of Washington, said in a news release that the coffee chain's decision has angered Christians. "Christians are upset with Starbucks for turning against God," Steven Andrew, president of USA Christian Ministries, said. The group hopes that, with full support from Christians, Starbucks, which operates two locations in Royal Oak, could lose up to 80 percent of its business. Starbucks joined Microsoft and Nike in publicly supporting gay marriage in a statement …

Not so far off the beaten path, the city's restaurants and shops offer a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the carfest.
Less than a half a mile away from the main drag of the Woodward Dream Cruise the streets are a little lighter and a whole lot quieter. Cruisers – and those who shun the cruise – can find food, drinks and a cool place to hang out with no long lines in downtown Royal Oak. The exception might be Starbucks. “It’s business as usual here at Starbucks,” manager Bernadette Monterosso said. The long lines, almost out the door, validate that fact. Although there are many things people will give up, a great latte or cappuccino doesn't seem to be one of them. Liz Morton, owner of Lily’s Seafood on Washington, said the restaurant was seeing very little business on Dream Cruise Saturday. Morton pointed to local parties and the number of residents who …

Thomas, yes I noticed. The world has more to discuss, but please don't be misled by screeching, publicity seeking groups. Starbucks is a wonderful corporate leader with great employees. Why hurt them? No, I don't work there, but I support their education initiatives and their CEO recently asked many of his peers to NOT send money to candidates until Corporate money is out of politics.
