Banish the Mondays with a free mocha at McDonald's

McDonald's steps up its ongoing onslaught against America's coffee specialist brands this month when it offers customers a free McCafé Mocha every Monday from July 13 to August 3.

At "participating locations" (the dreaded loophole) nationwide, the Golden Arches will serve up a free 7-ounce iced mocha or 8-ounce hot mocha for four Mondays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

You won't need a coupon, so as long as the harried staff stays on top of brewing, McD's should hopefully avoid the paperwork train wreck that marred earlier giveaways by Quiznos and KFC.

What are you waiting for?
