to the older lady who gave me a ‘mystery amount’ gift card at chapters last week. i saw that everyone had one and i felt left out because i didnt know how to get one, and when you offered me yours when you saw i didnt have one it made me pretty happy. i saved 5$ that day on my books. ill get you back someday.

For future reference, the mystery gift cards were sent out to iRewards members.
pay it forward : )
uh, they were also at the register and would be used whether you brought one with you or not… at least they were when I was there a few weeks ago.
