On Friday, I walked into the Burger King near the mall to buy a gift certificate for a friend of mine who really likes Burger King. I wasn’t sure if Burger King had gift “certificates” or gift “cards” until I read a sign near the register:
$5.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE if we fail to issue you a receipt
Ah, certificates it is. I patiently waited in line until I reached the front. Here’s the conversation that ensued with the cashier:
Me: “Hi, I’d like two $5 gift certificates please.”
Her: (matter-of-factly) “We don’t sell those.”
Me: “Er, uh… you don’t?”
Her: “No, we don’t.”
Me: “Um… are you sure?”
Her: “Yup.”
Me: (looking right at the sign) “Even though there’s a sign that mentions them right there?”
Her: “Yup.”
Me: “Hmmmm… Well, thanks for your time.”
Anyone out there ever possess a Burger King gift certificate? If so, how’d you get it? Did you buy it, or did the cashier fail to issue you a receipt?
