    Well that sucks, no more paying in cash for physical cards.

    Back when I used to work retail all gift cards were inside the registers only allowed to be activated once the registers opened.

    This meant it was less likely for someone to either swap gift cards for counterfeit ones, or take pictures of all the cards waiting for someone to activate them and drain the balance.

      to either swap gift cards for counterfeit ones

      That would show an error on the checkout

      or take pictures of all the cards waiting for someone to activate them and drain the balance.

      Nowadays they are alls scratch-offs. That was a different time back then

          If I wanted to talk to ChatGPT, I wouldnt have made the effort of going on Lemmy.

          I won’t read a wall of text essentially saying the same as the comment I answered.
