I know very little about this gift card other than the fact that it has $53.12 on it and that the person who gave it to me asked "Hey you go to Dillards?"

"Yes?"

"You want this giftcard? I don't know how much money is on it."

I think I was expecting somewhere in the range of $5-10 left, maybe even less. Fifty is hardly the typical amount that people give high schoolers, let alone plus three which seems to imply it was probably either originally $75, $100 or more. Nonetheless, fifty dollars, even if it exists as only half of the original value (and it could), is a lot of money just to hand off to a person on the basis that "I don't go do Dillards." In all liklihood, the person probably expected--eh roughly--$5-10 left, maybe even less. Of course, I don't remember who gave it to me. Zach Ohanlon? Ed?

I've resolved to ask around, and figure it out, so I can ask them "HEY YOU! Do you have any idea how much money you gave me? Do you want it back?"

That's just too much, too nonchalantly for me not to feel guilty about.

That being said, hell yeah I hope they're like "Eh. You can keep it~" but still. Not putting forth the effort makes me feel terrible.

I'm not sure if you guys have it there, but at least here in Cali, you can't redeem gift cards for money unless the amount is UNDER $10. So a gift card to a store you don't shop it... is pretty useless, regardless of the amount.

Yes, we have that here too. But I still feel the need to ask because... Because it's a lot and whoever gave it to me, we're obviously not really close friends and they might have someone else they want to give it to that they know better.

Not really. I do kind things for selfish reasons. I think this public post stands as testament that my primary motivation is so I can say "Hey. Look at this nice thing I did. Admire me."
