Thank You!: Starbucks offers free drink to NHS workers

On Wednesday, December 7, NHS employees in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland can get a free tall drink at Starbucks by merely displaying their work identification card.

Starbucks offers a free drink for third time

Alex Rayner, Starbucks UK’s general manager, hopes this modest gesture provides all NHS staff with the chance to take a minute to enjoy this holiday time and reflects Starbuck’s tremendous gratitude to the NHS for everything that they do all year round. Starbucks and NHS Charities Together collaborated on the initiative, which links Starbucks locations with 230 local NHS charities.
