99 Cent Store Gift Card
Categories: Blog, Fun, Gags, Humor, Mini Blogs, Popular, ShoppingWhile shopping at the $.99 Store (because I make the big bucks), I noticed they have a gift card available for purchase. Now first of all, I think receiving any gift card is a little awkward. It’s as if the giver is saying, “I have absolutely no idea what you like, but I’m afraid you’d spend cash on booze and gambling.”
But a gift card to the $.99 Store just says, “I have absolutely no idea what you like, but I know you don’t mind crap.”
So of course I had to buy one for my friend- and I only wanted to put $.98 on it. The problem is, you have to buy it for $9.99 so I tried explaining to the Mexican cashier that I wanted to use up all but $.98 on the card. It took me a good five minutes just to get her to understand how to charge $9.01 to the card, but she never got the joke.
I guess some things just don’t translate well.

why would you put only 98 cents on a gift card for a 99 cent store?

I think shamzie’s the cashier from the store! I can’t bear to explain the $.98 gift card for the $.99 store, but I know my friend will get a good chuckle when I give it to her.
