Now tell me, how many such stamp cards have you started, but never finished (and so missed out on that free espresso)? For my part, as far as I can remember, I’ve only crossed the finish line once, and not for the lack of trying! I just keep losing those things. Then every time you get a coffee there, the barista stamps a whole through the square that is next in line and eventually, when all squares are punched through, you get a free coffee.
Have you ever used a stamp card at your favorite coffee shop? You know, those business card-sized pieces of paper, the space of one side of which is apportioned among numbered squares (typically ten).
