Is this as big an issue in other countries?
Here in Australia when you buy a gift card through the self checkout, a warning pops up about scams that you have to click ok through. There's also messages that come over the in-store radio warning about not paying with gift cards too.
I mean, my local Colesworth doesn't really give a shit. I've seen people on the phone buying mass gift cards and had to step in because the staff just allow the purchases. I haven't heard a warning over the PA/in-store radio for years now. YMMV but it's still a problem around NW Sydney it seems.
