It turned out that it is one free cup each day for this week, what a brillant marketing idea!  Just a cup of free coffee won&#8217;t give you much incentive to spend $2 for something you can get for free in the cafeteria, even though the coffee from starbuck tastes better.  However, giving you one cup per day is a different story, it slowly builds up your addiction to their coffee.  I had a large cup today, and I didn&#8217;t plan to finish it.  Somehow I just slip the whole cup bit by bit without knowing it.  I think I should resist to this evil marketing scam tomorrow and give up my free coffee.
