Election day… You arrive at the location you have been assigned to vote. You enter the building and are asked to check in, making sure you are in the right spot. You then are pointed towards the area that has been set up for your precinct, and then the wait begins… After you have finished voting, the nice people who work at the polls should have given you a sticker; thanking you for having come to vote. 
This years sticker was worth a lot! Hopefully you were able to take advantage of the few food freebies. By showing your sticker you were able to get a free cup of coffee at Starbucks, a free donut from Krispy Kreme, Chick-fil-A offered free chicken sandwiches, and Ben & Jerry’s was offering a free scoop of ice cream.
I was looking online yesterday and came across a website that had a list of freebies from different areas of the US food and non food related. They were pretty interesting, so I thought I’d share with you guys.
Phone calls. Credo Mobile, a wireless company that donates money to progressive causes for calls its customers make, will offer free outbound calls to current customers during polling hours in their states. The cost could be about $250,000, says spokeswoman Becky Bond.
Discount haircuts. Then, there’s Cristophe Schatteman, a top hair stylist known for giving former president Bill Clinton a $200 haircut on Air Force One. His salons in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Beverly Hills and Orange County, Calif., will offer all services — including haircuts — at half price today. A $500 haircut from Cristophe will go for $250.
Books-A-Million: Free cup of coffee after showing your “I voted” sticker.
Shane’s Rib Shack: A free “Celebrate America Meal”—3-piece chicken tenders, fries, and 20-ounce drink—to the first 300 customers at participating locations, according to their
