Free Stuff

If you go to Starbucks and tell them that you voted, they’ll give you a free tall coffee.

The legality of this is being questioned, so you can probably get a free coffee even if you didn’t vote.

Get a free scoop at Ben & Jerry’s between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Krispy Kreme might have a star-shaped donut for you.

Torrid's giving $10 off...Legal? [ Tue Nov 4 2008 10:29 AM ]

I got an email from Torrid (for those of you who don't know, it's like Hot Topic for fatsos) for $10 off an in-store purchase with proof of voting...Not entirely sure what that entails...maybe if I bring in my little "I voted" sticker????

Hey mofos! [ Tue Nov 4 2008 10:36 AM ]

Sorry I've been out for a bit...I have food poisoning from Halloween so I'm home, bored, and tired of chicken broth. I'm glad I voted last week. I'm sad, today, though. I'm trapped in Utah, a red state, and my super-sensitive bf woke me up today by whacking my buttocks and screaming "you're a douche-ma-crat!"

What about voting disincentives? [ Tue Nov 4 2008 1:03 PM ]

In Georgia, you can't give or take "money or gifts for the purpose of registering as a voter, voting, or voting for a particular candidate," but what about not voting? I think it would be cool to get some ice cream for free by telling everyone you didn't vote. At least it's legal. Somebody has to reward apathy!

Lines [ Tue Nov 4 2008 3:05 PM ]

I wasn't able to get my free coffee from Starbucks. Their line was freakin' longer than the lines at the polls.

I know... [ Tue Nov 4 2008 3:20 PM ]

voters are not supposed to receive gifts, but it was good to get something free from Starbucks since they have taken soooo much of my money in the past years!

I second that motion [ Tue Nov 4 2008 3:23 PM ]

There should be some kind of Starbucks rebate. Wouldn't it be nice if our new president could make that happen?
I can dream.
