Church. On the other hand we need the guy who came up with the original marketing gift card marketing scheme on our side cause how the **** did that even work? It's like, hey, you know what's better than a blow job? This cantaloupe.

Thinking that a gift card is in any way thoughtful is pretty twisted to me.

That's dumb. I'd rather get a gift card to somewhere I like than have someone pick something out for me that I hate

If someone gives you a gift card then that means that if gift cards didn't exist they wouldn't have gotten you anything or would have gotten you something obviously thoughtless. Don't give in to middle class Christmas shopping logic. Gift cards are pointless.

Also they make good gifts for long distance friends.

I have a friend I've known since childhood and every birthday we send each other gas cards, grocery store gift cards, etc. Couldnt do that without a gift card.
