<p>
<img src="/theemporiumcantcount/loyaltycard.png" alt="[The card says “Get this card stamped every time you buy a pint and get your 16th one FREE!”; above this are two rows of seven boxes each; the first row is numbered 1 to 8; the second row is numbered 9 to 15... “6” is notably absent.]">
</p>
<p>
This has probably never been an issue, since the card is <q>valid up to 7pm</q>.
