I like the spirit of the idea. I've wanted Starbucks to do this -- I'd love to give someone "any tall drink at Starbucks" via a special card or code, instead of the current system of cash-based gift cards in dollar denominations that mean the giftee will need to spend something, eventually, to get the full value of the card.
It's a nice, polite way of saying thanks. "This drink's on me," without me being present.
- jonursenbach 16y agoThe problem with this though is that if you stand there for however long it takes you to type all the info, record your message and gift a drink to a friend, the chances of them actually being able to redeem that drink is very low. Starbucks are everywhere. This new vending machine is not.
