    Amazing. I've been needing to sh!t the last few weeks.
    Starbucks offers free refills to beat credit crunch

    Starbucks is offering free refills, raising the prospect of a 'coffee war’ (LOL!) among high street drinks chains.
    By Laura Clout6:19AM BST 30 Jul 2008

    The chain is offering a complimentary cup of filter coffee to all customers who buy a hot drink in the UK and Ireland in a bid to stem the exodus of customers during the credit crisis.
    The offer will run indefinitely, and is likely to put pressure on rivals such as Costa Coffee and Cafe Nero to follow suit, as customers continue to tighten their belts.
    In a statement, Starbucks said the policy is aiming to “engage the customer with the coffee experience”.
    The firm, which has 670 branches in Britain, is suffering along with the rest of the high street as consumers economise by avoiding unnecessary luxuries.
    In May the chain admitted for the first time that sales in Britain were softening.
    The company’s problems had been limited to its 11,434 outlets in America, where it had to close 600 outlets.
    Although free refills are common in US coffee shops, they are not in Britain.
    Chief executive Howard Schultz told analysts earlier this year: “Starbucks coffee and premium coffee experience has, over time, been an affordable luxury. And at this time, it isn’t for some people.”

    Protip, save money make better brews at home. :pac:
