Starbucks is offering free coffee to all frontline responders

Last week Starbucks closed its cafes across the country moving to Drive-Thru and delivery services only, but the coffee chain said it would be making some exceptions for certain locations in or around hospitals.

The Seattle-based company has continued to operate cafés serving in or around hospitals and healthcare centres, and Starbucks has now pledged to offer all frontline responders free beverages.

Any customer who identifies as a frontline responder to the coronavirus outbreak can get a free tall brewed coffee (hot or iced) now through May 3 across Canada.
