A sprinkler broke yesterday (blasted thing stopped oscillating) and I had to buy a new one. The store I went to always has "CRAZY DEALS" that involve gift cards - usually if you buy some item they're selling. This time, the store had a sign at the register:

"CRAZY FOR COINS!!! BUY A GIFT CARD WITH COINS AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND GIFT CARD EQUAL TO 40% OF THE FIRST CARD!"

Wow. What is going on with coins that would make a store like this - a discount store that already has very low prices - make such an offer?? I think the world is seriously broken.

I also think I'd better hurry up and use the gift cards I've already got. They are substantial (thanks to that $800 pergola I bought that came with an $800 gift card), and maybe the store is heading for bankruptcy. I hope not. It's a great store that I've been shopping at for many years.
