If you're very disinterested with those cards, you might probably wanna get rid of them

I have deep pockets, lol.

J, you do know you can't hurl new england vocabulary at a non-newenglander right? I had never even heard of GMC until reading about it on wiki now.

And everyone else who thinks that making coffee oneself with coffee devices is the zing thing, you guys are off your rocker The whole purpose of going to a coffee stall is to enjoy the service of consuming coffee which is made for you by someone else, and in a better way. You just can't seek to take the luxury variable out of the equation.

You know, I drank regular for YEARS up until early last year. It started making my face flush and I wasn't sleeping well. I switched to decaf and my sleep is 100 times better now. Plus, the dark circles seem to be gone too. Wacky! I LOVE coffee though and could never give that up.

Yeah, the Stamford Super Stop and Shop in mid-city has had a Starbucks for over a year now...it kind of "classes up" the shopping experience!! You feel like you are strolling along leisurely in the store with a coffee...I guess their marketing has grabbed me hook, line, and sinker!

Woa that comment is ridiculous. Maybe the DD in Stamford is rough but in Hamden it's where the normal middle class people go. I really cant believe that elitism.

A lot of people who hang at Starbucks are those to think they are intellictuals but are really those who failed out of college.

I am not a huge Starbucks fan but enjoy a latte here and there. I think they should have lowered their prices to more where Dunkin Donuts is and then maybe they wouldn't have to close or lay off.

So does my mom! She called me and said, where is a Starbucks? I said, umm, Rocky Hill I think? She said, I'm not driving to Rocky Hill for a cup of coffee, LOL. I don't know what she did with them. Closest Borders is in Meriden, again too far for a quick cup. She might just go buy some ground coffee and nice cups with the cards.

A co-worker once told me that his day didn't get started until after he had had his first cup of coffee in the morning which then let to...(think: laxative). Since I have never drunk coffee, it was news to me. Hence, my comment.

That is not a bad idea. I never thought to use them for things other than coffee. Thanks, Jay
