Must get one now!
Was getting a starbucks at the station on the way to work yesterday (the Holy Mince Pie season is alas over till November again - I'd hoped to squeeze one last one in, but alas it wasn't to be. Better to have loved and lost than etc etc etc).Anyhows, I saw their advert for a Starbucks pre-pay card. The first thing I noticed what no mention of the word "discount". So you want me to give you a shed load of money for a pre-pay card... for why? So I can be "a member of the club"? Don't think so.
Second thing, and slightly more worrying, is how much you are asked to put on at first to get one.
... Don't worry, this isn't going where you think...
It wasn't the high price that concerned me. I'd expected them to ask for a mortgage-level number of zeroes on the end of your first deposit, but I think it was a tenner. So about 3 coffees then, if you don't splash out on syrup, the largest size, etc.
No. It wasn't the high price.
It was the low one.
A minimum of 2 pound can get you your own pre-pay Starbucks card.
Er.... anyone know what you can get for 2 quid? That's normally the tip, right?

you tip starbucks £2 for giving you a coffee? Feck me I'm coming round to beg outside your house...Scramble!
I stuck £2 on a card to try and see what the "offers" were...[I duly spent the amount on the card the next day] but so far since November, I have had no "offers" or any e-mails.
If your in the states of course, it's a different matter, they've had freebies galore so far. Grr.
Not too rub it in too much my friend, but i (the wfie) got the last two from the fort.
But look at it this way, only 10 more months to wait until they are back again.
Well, I don't actually tip £2. That's kind of a facetious comment about Starbuck's prices. Remind me when next we meet to tell you all about "facetious".
Andi: tell Vicky she's a dead woman. And you're a dead man - you mean she bought two mince pies (one for you, one for me), and you ate mine!
Die! Die! Die!
