Great! Now when I go back I won’t need to ask for another “doubletallnonfatsugarfreesoydecafjavachipfrapuccino with whipped cream”. I’ll just say “same as before”.

I will take Caffè Nero over Starbucks any day :-)
In the UK I find that the WiFi in Starbucks (T-Mobile hotspot) is more frequently down than up, too….

Free refills in the UK – but only one. And they look at you really funny when you ask.

Over in the UK the word is that Starbucks has at last started to offer free refills – which I believe is standard in the US already.

It’d be nice if the discount is applied automatically with Starbucks card.

With the amount of money I drop at this place, I really like the idea. It’ll save me some cash.

The approach that Starbucks has taken with this promotion will in my opinion not generate a lot of repeat sales. It requires the consumer to work to hard. I’m now forced to hold on to my receipt & remember to swing back by later today to take advantage of this “deal.” With a bit of technology Starbucks could achieve so much more success.
