On a couple of
recent occasions, I have had difficulty using gift cards. One time, I tried to use a gift card at a
restaurant only to be told it did not work.
But when I checked the balance on line, it still had the original amount. I eventually used it to purchase something on line.
Last week,
one of my children wanted to use a gift card at a bookstore. We checked the balance at home and the card
had the original amount. However, when
we swiped it at the bookstore, the card did not work. I explained to the cashier that we had just
checked the balance. "The same
thing happened to me, " the cashier said.
"Let's try it again."
It took two to three more swipe attempts before it finally worked. Despite his being the only employee at the registers
and a line of people waiting to pay, the cashier was incredibly helpful.
