The Wash. Post:
Triple Grande Extra Frivolous Lawsuit
Much like Johnny "Drama", when Starbucks regular Kelly Coakley had her free drink coupon rejected, she took action. On Friday, the 23-year-old Queens paralegal joined forces with lawyer Peter Sullivan in bringing a $144 million lawsuit against the Seattle coffee conglomerate, alleging "betrayal" and "fraud." Starbucks circulated e-mail coupons for a free grande drink on August 23rd but pulled the promotion last week when the viral marketing spread beyond their control. Sullivan, who is seeking class action status, became inspired to sue after seeing lines of "angry" customers outside a New York City store clutching their useless coupons.

bear whiz? more like burnt mud!
feh!
still, a great employee company being chased by the usual gready lawyer.
their espresso brownies are really good though. and go very well with a cap from a mom & pop joint nearby.

not all, but those lawyers suck and are the reason many things cost more than they do

The scary thing is she probably thinks she is right. Her lawyer knows it is BS but is happy to pursue.

"Starbucks advertised the freebie."
Not really. They emailed a coupon to their employees. Each employee was permitted to give that one coupon to a friend or relative. Starbucks big failure was in not uniquely numbering each coupon (Dell does it everyday, can't be that hard.). That's how they ended up with 140,000,000 plus copies of the coupons being circulated.
The action is bogus and I truly hope a judge slaps sanctions on her and her attorney for filing it. She's not 'annoyed', she's a greedy lawyer wannabe.
