Free Coffee Alert!

 

This one goes out to everybody in the vicinity of a Peet's Coffee outlet. If I hadn't been on hiatus you might have been able to take full advantage of this month long offering, but at least you still have the rest of April to imbibe.

To celebrate Peet's 40th anniversary, every Peet's location is giving away free coffee between 1PM and 3PM daily. You can get hot coffee or iced coffee. I don't believe you can get blended drinks; and if you are a tea drinker, you may be out of luck (though you might be able to argue discrimination and get a pot on the house if you're pushy enough).

Now, this isn't the type of giveaway involving a dixie sized cup enticing you to try the latest Sumatra beans or hazelnut flavored beverage. The staff asks what size you want, and it's up to you to choose. Presumably refills are allowed too.

So, if you continue to remain disinclined to become your own barista, I offer you yet another reason to stop frequenting Starbucks .
