A table-top made of Starbucks cards

A Starbucks employee and her customer made this table-top of Starbucks cards, seen at the Lake Bluff, Ill. store. Care to share any of your Starbucks art projects?

Kinda cool.

Definitely tacky, but at least the theme is appropo.

What is corporate's response to using cards this way?

I envision these (plastic cards) will go away in the next 18 or so months as more people transition to the phone apps.

They are still damn convenient as gifts, but those can be gifted via email now as well.

I will be disappointed if/when that happens as I like to "collect" them for my own personal amusement.

You would need apps for other devices than iPhones for them to replace the cards. I don't have an iPhone, for example. I agree though, if an app were available for my phone, tat would save me carrying the card at all.

I think the picture need to be turned 180 degrees. Unless it is just me being particularly thick, it is not obvious the white bit in the middle is meant to be a cupthe way the picture is now.

I love the cards. I buy one, put a couple bucks on it, move it to my app and use the card as a bookmark.

I covered a trash can with old coffee stamp stickers.

I love it. Great recycling idea. I tried one time to use our old coffee stamps to cover our ashtrays. They looked great and were stolen on a regular basis. Our Regional Manager said they looked tacky and threw them out.
