Did you score any free coffee from Starbucks on Friday? A tech glitch that happened around 4 p.m. on Friday caused the coffee chain’s point-of-sale computer systems to shut down registers at stores in the U.S. and Canada, The Puget Sound Business Journal reports. Baristas were handing out gratis coffee drinks until stores closed. Stores opened normally on Saturday and the issue was resolved. The company issued this statement on its website regarding the outage: “Our stores that have not already closed for the evening are closing early.  The outage was caused by a failure during a daily system refresh.  We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience or confusion and will update this statement once systems are back online.  This outage also affects our Evolution Fresh and Teavana Tea Bar stores.”
