I Won Starbucks Complimentary Beverage

After more than a hundred cups of Starbucks-- combine hot and cold beverages since I started visiting this branch-- my loyal patronage with this coffee company named after a Mody-Dick character has paid off. No, I wasn't paid off deliberately, it was luck that was kinder to me when the random cash register squirted a promo receipt with a costumer code for www.mystarbucksvisit-ph.com.

Then after encoding and answering some questions (page after page, the kind that management wanted to hear out from customers-- they were easy, yeah!), my complimentary beverage ID came out. Not really an ID that has my picture and name tag on it, but a numerical ID my answer choices must have generated.


I copied it to the space provided at the promo receipt and presented it to Thines-- though I would have loved to present it to Lhyne (yes, I practically know all the crew in this branch and they know me by name, too!)-- for my choice for any tall beverage. I chose Mango Passion Fruit, their current product offering. Well, that was after I had a hot Tazo Tea, a Kettle Chips of Spicy Thai (ginger chips-- anghaaang!) and a sampler of Raspberry Black Currant cold drink. All, in the guise of doing my client proposals in this free wi-fied nook of Makati!
