Free Starbucks Coupon Cancellation Lands $114 million Lawsuit

Looks like Starbucks cancelling their free coffee coupon pissed someone off quite a bit.

I have to admit, I wasn’t very happy to hear that they had cancelled the coupon after only 24-hours either, but I didn’t take it to the extent this person did.

Peter Sullivan filed a $114 million class action lawsuit against Starbucks Corp. on behalf of a Starbucks regular that felt cheated by the quick cancellation of the coupon. The class action lawsuit is accusing the company of commiting fraud and is obviously a blatant attempt to suck an out of court settlement out of them.

Come on folks, it was only free Starbucks coffee, do you really think them pulling this coupon early is grounds for a class action lawsuit? Give me a break.
