The Starbucks "Location" Mugs

I don't get the point of having people give you "location" Starbucks mugs as pasalubong.

Shouldn't it be more of like Facebook's check-in feature? You should actually be within the place to be able to check-in it? I think the same goes for the mugs/tumblers where it is you who purchase the said mug because you've actually been to that particular place.

Isn't it kind of hypocritical to display the mugs in your house featuring all those places but you haven't actually been to them yet? Kase for me, I'd like to take pride in displaying them kasi I want to show people that I have actually been to that place.

I dunno, maybe this is the result of me bashing someone but I still believe I do have a point, yeah?

My first ever Starbucks Location Mug.
Yeah, too bad I did not have this fetish when we were in Hong Kong, China, and Macau.
