Starbucks is giving out free coffee to everyone in the DC, NYC, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas until 11 a.m. this morning. A nice gesture.

On September 11, 2001, someone in the company infamously charged first responders $130 for three cases of water. The ambulance drivers were eventually paid back, but we wonder if that played a role in today’s gesture.
