Now you’ll have some free coffee to go with your free Election Day food
The Election Day Freebies just keep on comin’: this time, it’s a free cup of coffee at Starbucks if you walk in on Tuesday, Nov. 4, and tell ‘em you voted.
A chicken sandwich, a cuppa joe, a donut, and a scoop of ice cream, all free, all just for turning out to vote. Is this a great country or what?
Here’s a map that shows the Dayton area’s Chick-fil-As, Ben & Jerry’s and Krispy Kreme. For the locations of local Starbucks, click on this Starbucks store locator link.
And here’s a story that ran in this morning’s (11-4-08) Dayton Daily News:
Call it a progressive dinner, Election Day-style.
At least four restaurant chains have confirmed that their Dayton-area eateries will be handing out free food today, Nov. 4, to those who voted.
For your entree, Chick-fil-A’s Dayton-area restaurants are offering free chicken sandwiches to those sporting an “I Voted” sticker today only. The sandwiches sell on the regular menu for $2.69. The free sandwiches are limited to one per voter, said Joel Green, unit marketing director for Chick-fil-A’s Dayton-area restaurants, which include two in Beavercreek, two in the Ohio 725 area and one lunchtime-only restaurant in downtown Dayton.
For a beverage (or, perhaps, a pre-dinner libation to keep you awake for the drive around town), voters can enjoy a free cup of coffee from any area Starbucks. All that’s required is for guests to tell the Starbucks folks that you voted, according to the offer described on www.starbucks.com.
And on to the dessert course: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will give one free star-shaped doughnut with red, white and blue sprinkles to customers wearing an “I Voted Today” sticker. The Dayton area’s only Krispy Kreme is located at 2001 E. Dorothy Lane in Kettering.
Finally — or, the finale — Ben & Jerry’s is giving out free scoops of ice cream, one to a customer, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. tonight. The free scoops are not limited to voters, but rather, are being given out to “celebrate democracy,” according to the ice cream maker’s web site, www.benandjerrys.com.

Karen, Chill out! I’m sure most people if not all vote for the love of their countryif not all of them.I don’t know anyone who would take the time to vote for a cup of coffee, but if they give a cup out just by saying you voted, What is wrong with that? Your no more Patriotic then anyone else who voted.By Frylock
