Hey, don’t laugh. Starbuck’s coffee, that’s what, like $15.00?

Of course, the actual cost to Starbucks is about 3 cents, and maybe twice that for the cup.

I do... either Chock Full O' Nuts or DunkinDonuts coffee in my coffee maker or a local coffee shop on the lake. (and yes, they have internet!)

Why do y’all demand the freebies extended to the professional educators you so despise? I fail to see why homesschoolers are entitled to a promotion a coffee shop freely offers.

I fail to see why "professional" (and I use the term very loosely) educators should be the only ones entitled to *freebies*. If the offer is extended to teachers, then homeschooling parents qualify. For that matter, any parents qualify.

Parents are teachers, and by all indicators, do a better job of it that the alleged professionals.

They’re a private chain. How does it affect you if they give their product away to someone else? You’re not harmed in any way.

Ain’t never had a $5 cup of Joe in my life. Won’t start now.
