    just checked facebook - they seem to have been given that goody bag for being the first customers at a preview store. Hubby was at our starbucks as it unlocked and said everyone got the same from his 'crowd' however looking at facebook pics it seems we have a smaller tote than others, hence the extra coffee I guess.

    They're saying on facebook that last year people got red tumblers.

    seems super unfair. Should keep it the same for everybody (first 20 people!)

    Serves me right for trying to be nice to someone, will have to be another moody monosyllabic London commuter from now on then :( I'm over sensitive and shy at the best of times, and now (pathetically) feel slightly teary about the whole thing at work (am wuss, either that or PMT!).

    Aw no don't do that, there aren't enough friendly, helpful people around in the mornings in London as it is! People are so ungrateful sometimes!

    Well I have written on there FB page and emailed there customer service department. For a huge chain like starbucks it is not alot to give 20 customers a gift bag full at 70 stores. I had read on HUKD last night what other people got, that why I got my bf to go. I would have not asked him to get up super early travel 30 mins on train to get a canvas bag. He was so annoyed about the situation. And then to see someone post their gift bag goodies on FB from Manchester stre again has annoyed me. Why wouldn't the stores all be consistent.
    Hopefully they will send us the missing contents (heres hoping lol)
