Local restaurant refuses to honor gift cards!
I have $300 worth of gift cards to a local fine restaurant. They aren't terribly old, and gift card cannot expire in California. It's the law. I called to make reservations and they asked if I was planning to use a gift card. I said yes. They said gift cards issued before April 2010 would not be honored because the restaurant changed ownership.
I suggested that the new owners may have forgotten to negotiate outstanding gift cards as a liability during the restaurant purchase, but I was pretty sure that wasn't MY problem. By the way, this is a hugely successful local restaurant. Great food. Always busy.
What shall I do, Pelicans? I'm considering running up a huge bill then leaving the gift cards as payment anyway. Might even invite them to call the sheriff if they wish to have me arrested.
I hate thieves, by the way.
