That’s crazy. That sounds like it should not be legal.

Why not just require they spend $200 to use a gift card? That way the store either keeps the $50 gift card in cash on the books, or they make $250 in sales.

Patches,

Which gift cards are those?

I’ve never heard of that being something you would purchase.

I could only see it existing if I had a $1.00 gift card to the dollar store. Because nothing costs a dollar at the dollar store anymore.

And in places where the money doesn’t ‘expire’ because it’s illegal.

They charge a ‘Maintenance free’ of like $1/month every month until it is worth $0.

Tbf I am shocked they have not started charging overdraft fees on them because “Fuck consumers” is the American way.

I think it’s the fact that people will openly write the exact same words as you do, and they won’t be joking. It won’t be satire. And there is no way to tell the difference even if they did look at your username - it just means “Anonymous”

Edit: See Poes Law. Guess I’m not first person to think about it.

Chronically underpaid, underinsured, overworked, subjected to abuse…

They are all of these things but nobody cares, and the boss will fire you if you joke with customers about it.

Joking about Mariah Carey being shit ain’t getting anyone fired. Not even Mariah Carey’s assistant … Probably
