I'm Shocked.

A customer came in to pick up their layaway order. Since they paid it off before the 14th of December, they get their $5 deposit fee back in the form of a gift card.
"Derp-Mart is pretty stupid to give me some money back. They should keep the deposit free. Extra money in their pocket." A customer stupidly remarked.
"They do keep it. This is just a $5 gift card, meaning that you have to use it at a Derp-Mart. And, since most people tend to purchase things more than $5 in value, you'll most likely end up spending far more than just a measly $5. Not only does the customer get your money from this purchase but they also ensure you'll come back to buy more just because they gave you a $5 credit card that's useless outside of a Derp-Mart."
"Wow, I didn't think about it like that. I guess that is smart."
A customer didn't think. Surprise, surprise.
