Braille on my Starbucks gift card (self.Blind)
submitted by awesomesaucesaywhat
It took me a few days to notice, but the Starbucks gift card I have has braille on it! Granted, it just says Starbucks, but it's still pretty awesome. I also noticed that my drink had the word handoff written on it, so I didn't have to play the guessing game of which coffee is mine. I don't know who is promoting blind awareness within the organization but I'm pretty impressed.

That is pretty cool. Do you remember when McDonelds had braille on their lids?

No, did they get rid of it?

I think I noticed braille in starbucks cards like 1-2 years ago. And wanted to actually get a gift card just because it was cool. :)
(Sort of like buying red wine with a braille label just because it had braille if you were buying red anyway)

Wine has Braille?! Dude.

Some Californian wine has apparently. I've foundone from Chilenthat had "number one" in braille, forgot the name... and now an Italian red one called "Trentatre rosso", i.e. 33 rosso (red). There was raised braille on the label but with a typo (number 3 number 3 rosso, instead of number 33 rosso).

That's great news I will have to check Starbucks in the UK, to see if they are doing it over here. Every little helps.

I don't know if it's on every card or just the one with mistletoe on it, haha.

I got a starbucks card with braille a few years ago. I think they always have one, and the picture changes seasonally.

Cool, I had no idea they had them at all.
