Starbucks Gift Card

Every morning I go to Starbucks. I don't know what it is about the coffee at that place but I crave it daily. Enough about me, this is about other patrons. Now, I ussually get to Starbucks at about 6:50 everyday. There is always a line of people but most are regulars at that store and the line moves quickly. Today, however, things did not move smoothly and let me tell you why.
So I'm in line and everything is going fine. I'm running a little behind my regular schedule but not late. Then this lady gets to the front and orders her "soy mocha frapa chai half-caf half-decaf latte chino". No big deal everybody orders some version of that except me because for some crazy reason when I go to a coffee place I want my coffee to taste like.......COFFEE! Anyways when the new guy working the cash register tells her the price she breaks out three count them three starbucks gift cards and the entire line of 15 people lets out a simultaneous groan. Son of a bitch! I'm already running behind and now we have to find out what is left on each one of these gift cards. Fuck her! She should have to stand to the side and let everyone else go ahead of her because she is inconsiderate. I know I'm not the only one on a schedule. These other people have jobs to go to. Where does this lady get off. And to top the whole story off the first two cards had no money left on them and guess what she did. That's right, she put them back in her purse as though next time she comes in they may have magically had funds transfered to them. This lady is not alone in her treachery, this happens at least twice a week. Is there a limited number of Starbuck's gift cards out there? Was there a limited release of the gift card with a couch on it? I don't understand the keeping of the card. The beauty of the gift card is that when your done using it you can throw it away or recycle it if your worried about creating an abundance of garbage. In closing I'd like to say this. One gift card, fine. Three gift cards, FUCK YOU!
