We needed milk and a few other things, so I got up early this morning and ran up to the Super Krogers, just in case they had some cool things that I couldn't live without. But I digress.
I got my milk and a few other things and then quickly checked out. As I was walking out of the store, I passed by the Kentucky Lottery vending machine, the turn-in-you-old-cell-phone-for-cash machine, the coins-for-cash machine, and a new vending machine I had never seen before: turn-in-your-unwanted-gift cards-for-cash.
The part that blew me away was, first of all, I have never seen a machine like this before. I knew there are places online you could redeem the cards for cash, but have never seen a vending machine for it. The second thing that blew me away, was the fact that it was before 9:00 in the morning, and when I passed by the machine on my way out of the store, there were at least 10 people waiting in line to use it.
Public service announcement:
If you think about giving a gift card to someone next Christmas, forget about it, and just give them cash.
