That makes no sense. What freaking good is the receipt, then?
Since the card they think your dad had was empty, are they going to sue him for the gas that he "stole"? /sarcasm
I live in the area, also. I think I'll pay that Walmart a visit on Saturday. I won't buy anything, but I'll return a couple of the WM gift cards I bought and let them know why. That tee's me off, royally.
Hope your parents don't buy $500 gift cards anymore.
They surely won't after sending them the link to the story that this has been going on for 2.5 years! I am shocked. I use gift cards, too. Such as when I return something to Lowe's, I just tell them to put it on a gift card because the return is less painful that way. Never again!
