I've come to notice that many people are not aware that Starbucks will actually give you free, yes free, refills on regular coffee only. They have been doing this for at least 8 years that I know of. All you need to do is bring your cup in and ask for a refill and no charge. So in a way Starbucks actually does implement this in their own way. So staffers... save your cup and bring it in for a refill. It's not only free but green friendly as well!

There is really no such thing as a company "controlling" customer comments / thoughts any more (like the "suggestion box" you accurately referenced.) This site: http://starbucksgossip.typepad.com/ has been around for a while. Talk about a loss of control! I think this is a pretty smart move for Starbucks.

How could you see us do what Starbucks is doing for one or more of our clients? Or even for ourselves? Excellent first post, Stacy.
