Same here. I don’t drink coffee to begin with, and even if I did, I wouldn’t pay their ridiculous prices for it.
I have a wallet full of Starbucks gift cards that people at work have given me at Christmas time, and which I never use. I’ve debated whether I should give them away, or just throw them in the trash (but someone spent money for them, so I’m very reluctant to do that).
Give 'em to homeless people. That way they get some sugary carbs, and the people who profess to care about the poor, and who voted for the policies that perpetuate poverty, get to spend some quality time with the fruits of socialism.
Give them to the homeless. Otherwise Starbucks gets to keep the money. Make them pay out.
Those Cards are already paid for.
You could Donate them to a Charity and write it off your Taxes. Maybe there is a Charity called “Coffee for Veterans” who could use them.
If not, just use them. They have to spend the time and Inventory making your Coffee. Order the most complicated Drink you can think of with some extra Expresso shots.
One other thought, use the Cards to buy a Coffee Maker or Expresso Machine there.
They are overpriced, but free is free and they won’t be able to make money if someone else buys one.
Disclaimer: The ONLY time I ever visit Starbucks is if I receive a Gift Card, so you’re not alone. LOL
Give the gift cards to the homeless.
I’ll gladly take them off your hands (:
SBUX already has the money for them. Make sure the cards get used to force them to deliver the product they have already been paid for. Find a SBUX customer and sell the cards to them, even at a discount if necessary.
