I'm NOT a lawyer. But you have gift cards to a restaurant that is still in business and 'it's the law' that they don't expire. Talk to the owner if the manager won't satisfy the issue. Exhaust their management level first before pursing the following:
IMO they either honor the gift cards, return the money to the purchaser or end up in small claims court. I would factor in ALL my expenses for filing, transportation, time off work & any lost income, postage, etc, just to file and add that in there. You may even be able to slip you number of hours spent on their too if it's not crazy. Try half you hourly pay or if nothing else minimum wage and argue you make way more than that and you'll get at least that. It's the law AS YOU SAID and they are breaking it. You could even threaten a call to the DA's office about criminal activity going on at the restaurant. They WILL settle out of court for more then $300 or honor the cards. But just try to be reasonable if they do offer a settlement... Good Luck! This kinda crap pisses me off that's for sure!
