I wonder what he/she thinks the difference is between that and what the airlines do? Do I hear any complaints that the taxpayers are, in some unexplained, mysterious way, subsidizing that "free" cup of coffee?</font>
I don't even want to think about that email for one second (beyond the time needed to reply here of course!), but to answer your question re: free coffee, I would guess the writer would point out the Government has not forked over large wads of cash to Starbucks so that it can stay in business.

In any case, that email is total nonsense.
