The Supreme Meta Physical Object
I bought this with sweaty palms. 450 bucks for a metal card and a commitment to Starbucks for the next 3 years (I calculated my average frequency of spending).<br />But what about the card balance and its vulnerability to inflation?<br />what if I lose it, it is stolen, i drop and scratch it?<br />what if my friends or family find out about this silly purchase?<br />does this make me part of the 1%?<br /><br />So many questions, so much speculation. And now bliss. I got one and Theresa didn't and now she is grouchy. I love this card. I've used it 4 times on 3 occasions I have been 2nd glanced and then re-greeted like I am Howard Schultz himself.<br />The cute baristas have said "Our manager said we will never see one of these" and "can I take a picture of it?"<br /><br />I feel kind of like Brad Pitt using this card. It has finally brought happiness to my life. 5000 people have the chance to own one, on this entire planet. 8 billion people, and I am one of the few, The Proud, THE STARBUCKS ELITE.<br /><br />I've got like $390 bucks left on mine, and I'm willing to sell it for a grand. Anyone got a check ready?
