wow this probably the most unrealistic request. 1.) Do you guys know gift card are not hidden on the counter products? 2.) Have you considered if there is a space behind the counter? What about the money needed to buy the spaces you can put those gift cards? 3.) Do you guys consider the people who wants to buy the gift cards? And for everyone's good sake they would like that gift card be visible to the public and easily accessible?

The manufacturers need to be the ones taking the hit. If they had better designed packaging this wouldn't happen.

This woman explains the mechanics of the scam so well. Very few people are so articulate and able to explain issues in such a clear and accurate way, even some news reporters. She has a gift and should continue working with and helping consumers. Thanks!

These scammers need to be prosecuted. They are obviously clever enough to come up with these scams which shows mal intent.

The stores need to do like how they do with cigarettes so people can't steal them they need to do the same with the gift cards and stop having them by the door lock it and the cashier will have to go to the aisle with the key and hang you which gift card do you want it needs to be stopped cuz that my store they have gift cards all over the floor I told the manager I've called Kroger's and total corporate to him about it they didn't do nothing about it Google will not even answer the phone they will not respond to you I'm email they will not do nothing Google sucks don't ever buy a Google card get Google out of business don't buy I bought an Amazon card a $500 Amazon card someone stole the money off of the card I couldn't get my money on my cash back but Amazon put $500 back on on my account because I got it back somehow Google won't do s***Google needs to be sued

For customer security, owners are gong to have to return to when the gift cards first came out. Stores would keep the actual card in a secure location in the storage area. Only fake display 'cards' would be seen out on the display.

The self check out machine is the problem, the store wants to save labor cost by using the self check out, put the security check responsibility on the cunsumers, what about the other non_ gift card barcode? Can scammers do the same to us?
@DavidHalverson
@DavidHalverson Год назад
Could do like some gift cards, have the customer go online to the provider, and activate the card online to keep criminals away.
@pambp5978
@pambp5978 Год назад
@@DavidHalverson getting a code on your register receipt that would be used for activation if there is a way to do that.. the stores having the cards placed to take advantage of impulse purchase is contributing to the problem.

Use the card to try to buy something for a dollar before leaving the store.

@roelsvideosandstuffs1513 9 месяцев назад
it is a good strat the only prtoblem with this is if you are gifting the gift card or you don't have extra money.

Sticker barcode are o Apple gift cards probably all gift card have a sticker barcode that won’t work once you paid to activate it at Walmart or the store location where it was purchased Most hated part is that the card won’t work after purchase and there’s no one responsible to care about refunding the customer back for their lost
