Starbucks is pouncing on the ongoing government shutdown with a "pay it forward" stunt. Urging customers to "Come Together" during the shutdown, Starbucks writes: "If you come into Starbucks and buy someone else their favorite beverage, we'll give you a free tall brewed coffee... #payitforward — and lets [sic] see what can happen." The deal is good through Friday. [Eater National]
