Free coffee offer leads to long lines
When Starbucks offered the nation a free tall coffee for voting, it must have understood the type of response it considering many customers need to take out a loan to purchase one of their drinks.
And on a cash-strapped college campus, the reception has been “crazy,” said Emily Butterfield, a supply chain management junior and employee at the 401 E. Grand River Ave. Starbucks.
While there wasn’t a line at 10:45 a.m., Butterfield said the line has been out the door several times, usually when classes end.
Originally, Buttefield was accompanied by just one co-worker. The store has added workers to adjust to the lines.
