    And I used to think those displays were convenient. Stores need to keep them behind the counter now.

    Perfect way to avoid gift card scams: send cash instead.

    That happened yo me years ago at Target , i paid cash so i was out $700 dollars. And had to buy new gifts. Terrible Christmas that tear i think they were taking pictures of them probably while in the store or they worked at Target. Sucks when you buy them then after Christmas theyve been used pretty much the night or days after you bought them.
