Starbucks pay-by-iPhone app now available at 1,000 plus locations

I like Starbucks a little more than I should, but really they have coffee and Wi-Fi, two things that seem to be necessary in my line of work. The good news here is that Starbucks has recently increased the pay-by-iPhone-app ability from 16 stores to over 1,000. It should be noted that those 1,000 include the locations that are inside of a Target. Of course, in the long haul 1,000 plus is still nothing as compared to the 74 billion locations that Starbucks has around the globe. But hey, 1,000 is better than 16 and it seems like a valid start. Sadly though, I do not have a Starbucks Target close to my house, and my local Starbucks is not included in that list. But just in case yours is, all you will need to do is load up the Starbucks Mobile Card app on your iPhone and then present the little QR Code that will display on your screen. And yes, you will have to at least show your iPhone so the barista can scan the code.
