Have you ever felt awkward using a gift certificate?
Normally, no, but I have one for well over a $100 to a small boutique food shop and I can tell they're getting sick of me lol.
sharejust spend it all at once.

No. Why would I? Believe me, they’re not so sick of you that they will cash out the balance of the gift card.
shareThey made money selling the gift card. It sounds like you are getting poor customer service. Find a manager and tell him/her that s/he has “a coaching opportunity.” That’s much more appreciated than just bitching. They will love you for life.
shareHonestly, I think its just me being self conscious. Its such a small little place, I deal with the same people each time.
shareOkay, but someone who like or loves you gave you that gift, so enjoy. If it helps, I worked in retail per se for 15 years, and neither I nor my colleagues had any problems with selling to a gift certificate. If we were on commission, we got full commission, as with any other form of payment. The schmuck who sold the gift card, however, didn’t even get credit toward his/her sales quota, let alone commission! You didn’t buy the gift card, so they should all love you.
shareA gift certificate is the equivalent of cash, so absolutely no way would I feel awkward.
