I got a giftcard to MAC for xmas from my brother. So I go into a MAC store, pick up a bunch of stuff, bring it to the counter, and the broad is all like "you can't use that here".
Why not?
Because it was bought in a MAC at the Bay. So I can only use it in one fucking MAC store, a half hour's drive from me. Awesome!

What's up with this. I got a starbucks gift card for xmas, and I can't use it at half of the starbucks (aka fred myer, safeway, barnes & noble). WTF. If you're not an actual starbucks don't call yourself a fucking starbucks. Pisses me off.
Gift cards in general are total bullshit - "Here's some money, but you can only spend it one place." Fuckin gimme cash so I can buy drugs or something.
I don't know why you can't I have received a few and they have worked at any Starbucks I have gone to. Including the ones at Safeway, the one inside the lobby of good sam hospital in Puyallup, and normal Starbucks.
I'm jealous. I've tried to use it at said places and failed miserably. Might have something to do with the location, which is Portland for me.
well have any of you guys with starbucks cards registered it online. if you don't do that then it won't work. i have two cards and no one has ever turned me down i also get extras and free stuff at starbucks for registering it
