I mean I’ve definitely seen signs at checkout lines at grocery stores. I’ve also been asked when buying large amounts of gift cards what my reason for buying them was (in a very kind way, I would add).
How many large gift cards do you use to pay for your irs fines a month?
Haha I’m not stupid I know the IRS doesn’t accept gift cards.
The Microsoft tech support guys have been very helpful with my Linux laptop though, and I feel that I can trust them.
I was amazed that I could extend my car's warranty with gift cards, especially since I've never had a car warranty.
I've seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.
Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer's plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we'd get our manager involved to talk to them
