Lawmakers in Washington are having a hard time resolving their differences, so Starbucks wants coffee lovers to set an example.

The coffee chain is now offering a free tall brewed coffee to customers who buy another person a drink.

The Starbucks CEO says the offer is a way to help fellow citizens "support and connect with one another, even as we wait for our elected officials to do the same for our country."
