Choose your own adventure Gift Cards
Probably only a rant applicable to my fellow chain managers:
Is anyone else so sick and tired of having to be a functional expert in activating dozens of the “Choose your own adventure,” gift cards from one4all, zillonsgifts and all the other dumb companies that offer these?
The instructions are clearly printed on each one. Go to the site, pick where you want to spend your money, receive the gift card.
I try to touch every table that has these and let them know they are supposed to do this themselves. In hopes that next time, they’ll show that initiative.
But 99 out of 100 times I take the time and just do it myself. As long as they scratch off the part that hides the clears number. And are patient while I do this for them.
If we’re on a wait, if I’m in the weeds, whatever the case, I’ll get to it as soon as I can. Especially after a few seniors chose gift cards to the wrong restaurant. And then got mad I couldn’t take them.
Lately I’ve been getting a lot of “is this going to take long?” Or “be quick we’ve got a movie to catch.” And it’s just become too much. I actually had both of these tonight and it just really irked me. I did it with a smile though.
Am I the only one that does this nicety only to get crapped on?
