Coffee drinkers, prepare to get jittery on someone else's dime—the NY Sun says you're "in for a lot of free coffee in the next couple of weeks":
The first freebie is tomorrow, when McDonald's will hand out free cups of the stuff to anyone who asks for it, at any location. It's in celebration of being named by Consumer Reports as having the best coffee for the price (compared with other fastfood chains).
Then next Thursday, Starbucks is celebrating its second annual "coffee break" by pouring free 12-ounce cups (tall, not grande or venti) of brewed coffee between 10 a.m. and noon.
And then finally, on Wednesday, March 21, Dunkin' Donuts will celebrate the first day of spring with a free 16-ounce cup of iced coffee all day long.
Our Alaina Browne called McDonald's to check if free coffee will be available at all locations tomorrow; She said, "They say since they're 85% franchise owned, it's up to the franchisees as to whether or not they are participating," so if you'll be stopping by a McDonald's for some coffee tomorrow, have a few bucks in your pocket in case your local franchisee is not feeling the free coffee love.
