in California, all gift cards $10 or less can be redeemed for cash.
you may have to argue with employees and management, but its the law… it’s also a misdemeanor for the cashier to refuse it to you.
interesting, didn’t know that
most people don’t
Funny enough, I tried this with Starbucks and the manager refused.
oh ive been there.
i had the manager at a mcdonalds refuse me once, so i ended up showing him the law on my phone… which didn’t convice them… so i emailed corporate, who called me back, and the store… and then the store had the law printed on the window at the entrance…
the next time i tried it there, had to still get a manager who said “i’ll just do it this one time”
and i kept letting him know that i know he has to every time…
I wish I had the energy to be this petty over $1.60. I genuinely respect your efforts.
it’s not about the $10, it’s the principle…
Did you show them the law?
Not just under 10
there’s more to that:
In case anybody is wondering this part is important because the thing the other guy posted just says it can be replaced with cash OR a new gift card of equal value. That doesn’t mean it’s the customer’s choice which one they receive though so businesses would just choose to replace it with another gift card.
