a glimpse of sharon world...

gingerbread lattees and free food.

usually after my linguistics class, my friend, steph and i walk home together because we live so close to each other this year. today we decided to cut through the science building to go up king st. because of the cold weather; the less time we spent outside, the better. :P

anyway, we ran into ingle who was leaving the science building too, so i introduced them and the three of us began to walk up king st. together. we had just finished crossing the street when i noticed that the starbucks that was under construction for the last little while was now completed and there were people inside. at first we were confused as we walked by but then we realized (with the help of some random lady on the street) that they were giving out free food. needless to say we literally ran to the doors (it was cold and the food was free! :P) and let ourselves in to be greeted by nice people wearing the green starbucks aprons.

apparently (for tonight only) the starbucks in waterloo is having a friends and family night in celebration of the grand opening of their store here in this smelly town. (i don't really know why they called it a "friends and family night" because i was neither a friend nor family member of anyone there at starbucks and i still got my freebies. haha) basically everything was free (ANY drink of ANY size) and the green apron people were circulating around the store with platters of different desserts for people to try.

so, i ended up eating three pieces of cake and getting a grande gingerbread lattee to go. i was going to get a hot chocolate but decided to go for the lattee since it was more expensive and i was getting it for free. :P actually, i was originally going to ask for the biggest size too, but i thought that would be overdoing it a little bit. bah hah.

free stuff is so great...especially when it comes in the form of a hot drink on a cold evening!

first the crazy cheap pizza pizza deal, now free starbucks...what's next?! ;)
