. Man, if looks could kill! I high tailed it out of there. She was so angry with me.
I would just take some empty cards from the store that has plenty and bring them to the nice store. BTW...I am a cashier at a Home Depot. I did buy a Happy Card at a Stop and Shop and brought it to work to show my head cashier how they work.I don't believe HD has a variable load GC. I tried hitting up a HD about half an hour away since I guess my HD is never again going to restock their Disney GC's (my words, not theirs. But it feels like forever). They had a plethora of them. YAY! I kinda got ballsy and just went for $100 hoping for a nice cashier. I did the 2 transactions of $100 each which obviously triggered an ID check...and the checkout lady was NOT having it! She seemed nice at first and almost acted like she was just going to wave it through and then she caught "gift card". She said no but I told her it is rang in like a Visa, and I have been getting them at my local HD without issue. She acted like she wanted to call for a manager but then let it go through. And then I repeated transaction #2
I really wish my options weren't Nice HD+empty Disney GC rack and Mean HD+all the Disney GC's a girl could ask for.
do you have to click thru the email or something? It isn't showing me the price online without membership.
. That cashier, I am pretty sure, would have tackled me herself and punched me had she seen me shove a stack of cards in my purse. I would be interested to see if the 100$ gc mark prompts for an ID check at regular checkout lanes instead of self check.
I seriously considered it for a second but then I realized I am a baby (honestly, I can't believe I did the second transaction after the first one!) and eventhough logically it's not stealing because the cards have no value I would totally get sweaty and awkward and just look like I was up to something. I would probaly get the cops called on me in seconds for acting suspicious.
It's a good thing I am not typically inclined to do anything 'bad' because I would never be able to get away with it
FYI...my register no longer prompts for a signature or an ID. This is a recent update. The only time I need a signature is with a Home Depot credit card. I try a real cashier next time and I don’t see an issue. Maybe someone can try it and let us all know. I don’t have an Office Max in my state or I would try it myself.But your on this thread so clearly you are much more knowledgeable and chill about gift cards than your average employee
Hmm, I also wonder if I could do an old switcheroo too. Swipe the HappyDad and then when it prompts for ID hand them my CC+License instead of GC+License. I am usually holding my wallet anyhow so it would be pretty easy to do. I mean that seems shady but *I* know I am not doing anything wrong and it would be easier than trying to explain 'it's a gc thats not really a gc' while the cashier looks at you like your trying to smuggle diamonds out of the store.
My spinner store didnt have any other gift card stacks. But my other store had the normal rack
My one store just had the little spinner, and one had the big square rack. Full of happy cards.I haven't looked for GCs in a while apparently at OM, I didn't have any in the front of the store. They had a greeting card spinner instead now (honestly would have never thought to buy a greeting card at an office supply store) and I didn't see any near the registers. In the back of the store in front of the print services counter was one of the rectangular racks like HD or Best Buy has for them. Looked like everything was there now for this store, one side was reloadables and the other sides full of mostly 3rd party cards. Of course the side with the Happy cards was decimated, but I could have had any number of Disney ones at full price, those pegs were full
My register was hardcoded against taking Visa gcs for the happy cards
