Will you lie for free Starbucks coffee?
This week I'm contemplating lying for free coffee.
But it's not lying to a friend or anyone important in life. It's lying to Starbucks. Sticking it to "da man" -- if you choose to think of it that way.
If you walk in a Starbucks now until Sunday and sign a pledge card that you will volunteer 5 hours of community service, you get a free tall cup of brewed coffee.
But of course nothing forces you to volunteer. It's just a free cup of coffee with a side of guilt for not helping the community.
It's a great tool to help people think about their communities and start to think about volunteering. But I'm sure Starbucks realizes many people won't go through with doing the 5 hours of work.
So will I lie? I'm not sure yet. For starters, I'm pretty cheap and/or lazy: I make my coffee at home every day, so why bother waste the gas money to get one cup of their coffee?
Would you lie for free coffee?
