Starbucks [SBUX] is at it again: July 21, 2009 is their new Free Pastry Morning*.
Of course, given the lil’ asterisk you see, you’re probably wondering, “What’s the catch?”
And, yes, there is a catch(es):
- You should probably print out the invitation from the Web site;
- You will need to get to your local Starbucks between opening at 10:30 AM local time; the availability of the pastries will be on a first-come, first-served basis, or 10:30 AM, whichever comes first;
- You will need to purchase a hand-crafted beverage (brewed is a good choice);
- You have to choose from their acceptable range of “pastries”.
… and there are plenty of additional availability restrictions toward the bottom of the invitation. Definitely worth a read.
So, if you were destined to fetch some coffee tomorrow anyway, this is a nice extra perk to accompany your perk’ed drink.
