Why do so many stores sell gift vouchers that do not correspond with the prices of the items they sell? Often when I receive a gift voucher, I will end up with store credit of only a few dollars remaining, or I will have to spend a bit of my own money if I want to make a purchase, which sort of defeats the purpose of a gift voucher.
If I have $4 of store credit left for a shop where no items cost $4, am I entitled to a refund for the final amount? Is there any other recourse? It seems unfair if a merchant just gets to keep some of the money from a purchase intended as a gift.
