I think you’re making this freebee offer way too complicated. I would suggest a a 4th alternative that I use all the time. Simply ask your friendly Barista that you would like to “upgrade” your free “Tall” to a “Grande” or “Venti”. Now pause a second and wait. You’re of course willing to pay for the upgrade, but if they’re like the fine Baristas/and cash terminals that I’ve dealt with they’ll come back and say “no charge” for the upgrade. Superior customer service strikes again. While I’m not guaranteeing this, suggest you give it a shot. Note: I don’t have my “coffeepundit.com” site up and running yet but hopefully soon so I can wax poetic about Starbucks. </p> Michael, I love Starbucks too!
