I Voted: Got My Sticker
When you leave the polls today, don’t throw out that “I Voted” sticker — it could be your ticket to a free meal or half-price haircut.
To encourage people to vote, several businesses — including restaurants, coffee shops, salons and bars — are doling out freebies and discounts on election day, despite some concerns about whether such promotions are legal.
“We can’t guarantee that your candidate of preference will win on Nov. 4,” said Chef Ron Rupocinski of Krispy Kreme, which will give out star-shaped doughnuts to customers at select locations. “But we can guarantee that your right to voice your choice will be rewarded with a patriotic doughnut that will remind you just how tasty freedom really is.”
The “I Voted” sticker will be good for a free appetizer at most Daily Grill restaurants, a bottle of Jones Soda or draft beer at Pitfire Pizza locations in downtown Los Angeles and North Hollywood, and 50% off services at Cristophe salons, which include shops in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.
“It’s such an important, crucial election,” said owner Cristophe Schatteman, whose clients have included Bill Clinton.
“I wanted to drive people to the voting polls. I think by offering all our services at 50% off, we hopefully encourage the younger demographic to go and vote.”
