Starbucks wanna be

I am not a starbucks drinker. Simply because I'm not really a coffee drinker and because Starbucks is too expensive. But I got a $20 gift card to Starbucks for Christmas. Needless to say I've treated others to Starbucks, because if I didn't I'd never get rid of all the money. The other day I walked into Barnes n' Nobles because it had a Starbucks in it, or so I thought. I ordered a frappachino, slid my gift card into the machine and it wouldn't work. The cashier asked me if it was debit or credit, and I informed her it was a Starbucks gift card. To my surprise she said that they were not starbucks, but a Barnes n' Noble SERVING Starbucks, so they couldn't take the gift card. So be warned all you owners of Starbucks gift cards.
