Every person here, I would bet does not like standing in line at customer service for ANY reason. If the general populace hates standing in that line/dealing with uncooperative store employees who are trying to get crazy with rules/restriction, what makes people think it is ok to give a gift that will likely get returned????

I mean, giving a gift is supposed to be a good experience, why not try getting it right in the first place? It isn't that difficult to find out what a friend is interested in/would like right?

Just my 2 cents, not worth much obviously

Wow. I wish I had your problems.

Have a seat on my couch, pay me $200 and hour and we can discuss your views in more detail..... 52 week minimum.

The GC the best thing ever to come to gifting.

Why do you assume someone gave you a gift they thought you would likely return? I've never given someone a gift expecting they might return it, nor have I ever received a gift where I thought the person giving it expected me to return.

I think he's referring to people who buy something, and then say "well I don't know if they will like this, but they can always just return it."

Agreed, gift cards are the way to go.

Yep, that's why I love gift cards.
