Starbucks drive-thrus are still open during the coronavirus pandemic.
"The offer explains that any customer who identifies as a first responder or front-line worker supporting the health care industry will receive tall, brewed coffee (hot or iced) at no charge – including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses, hospital and medical staff and medical researchers," Starbucks says in a press release.
